East Coast jet fuel inventory ·EIA week ending September 4, 2026
East Coast jet fuel storage holds 10.7 M bbl as of September 4, 2026, down 4.8% week over week. It is currently drawing faster than usual.
The Desk's read
The pace of the draw is what stands out: East Coast jet fuel stocks, the kerosene-type aviation fuel warranted for the district, have fallen 7.4% over 30 days, a trailing 8-report drain sitting at the 1 percentile of all such stretches in the 37-year record. Yet the pile itself is unremarkable, 10.7 MM bbl as of September 4, mid-range for its record. A quick drain from a mid-range stock still leaves it mid-range. We watch next Wednesday's EIA weekly report to see whether that pace holds.

About this series
Kerosene-type jet fuel, the aviation grade, held in tanks and terminals across PADD 1, the East Coast district. Reported weekly by the U.S. EIA as one of five regional cuts of the national jet fuel series. East Coast jet fuel feeds the New York and Washington airport corridor plus the military bases along the seaboard. Much of it arrives by pipeline from the Gulf Coast, so the district's cushion depends on the same supply lines as its gasoline.
Since 2015, today's reading ranks in the 72nd percentile. East Coast jet fuel stocks are running above the modern era's typical level. It is 0.1M bbl above its same-week five-year average. Across the full EIA record back to 1990 it ranks in the 64th percentile; storage capacity, pipelines, and production have shifted enough since then that the modern cohort is the better yardstick for today's operating conditions.

It covers Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia. The district lines were drawn for World War II fuel allocation and remain the standard regional cut of US oil data.

- The total volume of kerosene-type jet fuel held in tanks and terminals across PADD 1 (East Coast). It is the EIA's regional cut of the same weekly ending-stocks series the national jet fuel page tracks, and the five districts sum to the US total.
