About this series
Total motor gasoline held in US tanks and terminals, including blending components. Reported weekly by the U.S. EIA. A read on fuel supply heading into and out of driving season.
Since 2015, today's reading ranks in the 0th percentile. US gasoline stocks are lean by modern standards. It is 11.8M bbl below its same-week five-year average. Across the full EIA record back to 1990 it ranks in the 24th percentile; storage capacity, pipelines, and production have shifted enough since then that the modern cohort is the better yardstick for today's operating conditions.

US gasoline inventory: common questions
- What are US gasoline inventories?
- They are the total volume of finished motor gasoline and blending components held in tanks and terminals across the United States. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports the figure weekly in its Weekly Petroleum Status Report.
- Why do gasoline inventories matter?
- Gasoline stocks show how much fuel is available relative to demand. Stocks typically draw through the summer driving season and build in winter, so the weekly change is read against that seasonal pattern rather than in isolation.
More questions
- What is the difference between gasoline and crude oil inventories?
- Crude oil is the raw feedstock refineries process. Gasoline is one of the finished products they make from it. A crude draw alongside a gasoline build, for example, points to heavy refinery runs converting one into the other.
- How often are gasoline 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.
