US distillate inventory: common questions
- What is distillate fuel oil?
- Distillate is a refined product category that covers diesel fuel and heating oil. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports total US distillate stocks weekly in its Weekly Petroleum Status Report.
- Why do distillate inventories matter?
- Distillate powers freight trucks, trains, farm and industrial equipment, and heats homes in the Northeast. Stocks tend to build in the shoulder seasons and draw during winter heating and peak freight, so the weekly change is read against that pattern.
- Is distillate the same as diesel?
- Diesel is the largest part of the distillate category, but distillate also includes heating oil and other gas oils. This page tracks the combined EIA distillate total.
- How often are distillate inventories updated?
- The EIA publishes the figure every week, typically Wednesday around 10:30 a.m. Eastern for the prior Friday's week. This page reads that same EIA series and shows the latest reading with its as-of date.
