East Coast jet fuel inventory ·EIA week ending August 21, 2026

The Desk's read
The refill has stalled: East Coast jet fuel is draining at the 3 percentile of all four-report stretches in the 37-yr record, one of the sharpest pulls we track. That said, the tank sits at the 71st percentile of that record, mid-range and comfortably stocked, so a fast drain here empties a deep pile, not a bare one. Stocks read 11.0 MM bbl as of 2026-08-21, down 3.1% over 30 days. Watch next Wednesday's EIA weekly for whether the 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.
Today's reading sits in the upper part of the EIA record going back to 1990. East Coast jet fuel stocks are running above their typical level.

East Coast jet fuel inventory: common questions
- What is PADD 1?
- PADD 1 is the East Coast district of the Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts, the five regions the EIA uses to report US petroleum statistics. 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.
- What does this page track?
- 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.
