根據(jù)GasBuddy的數(shù)據(jù)，美國(guó)3月20日的汽油需求比前一個(gè)周日增加了12.6%。 德·哈恩指出，這也比過(guò)去4個(gè)周日的平均水平高出14.5%。

美國(guó)汽車協(xié)會(huì)（AAA）3月21日表示，上周美國(guó)汽油價(jià)格比3月11日觸及的高點(diǎn)小幅下跌，當(dāng)時(shí)美國(guó)普通汽油價(jià)格觸及每加侖4.33美元。 

自3月11日以來(lái)，美國(guó)全國(guó)汽油均價(jià)已跌至每加侖4.25美元。 截至3月22日，根據(jù)AAA的數(shù)據(jù)，美國(guó)全國(guó)平均汽油價(jià)格為每加侖4.242美元。 

自3月11日以來(lái)，汽油價(jià)格走低的主要原因是國(guó)際原油價(jià)格下跌。上周，由于疫情的蔓延，國(guó)際原油價(jià)格下跌，且市場(chǎng)對(duì)世界最大的原油進(jìn)口國(guó)的燃料油需求產(chǎn)生了質(zhì)疑。

與此同時(shí)，GasBuddy的德·哈恩3月22日表示，洛杉磯已經(jīng)成為美國(guó)第一個(gè)汽油價(jià)格達(dá)到6美元/加侖的大城市，而就在幾周前，它的汽油價(jià)格就達(dá)到了5美元/加侖。

U.S. Sees Highest Gasoline Demand Since At Least 2017

·     U.S. gasoline demand on Sunday jumped by 12.6 percent compared to the previous Sunday.

·     U.S. gasoline prices fell slightly last week from the highs on March 11.

This past Sunday registered the highest gallons count of gasoline demand GasBuddy has ever recorded in data going back to 2017, Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for the fuel-savings app, said on Tuesday.

According to GasBuddy data, U.S. gasoline demand on Sunday jumped by 12.6 percent compared to the previous Sunday. It was also 14.5 percent above the average of the last four Sundays, De Haan noted.

U.S. gasoline prices fell slightly last week from the highs on March 11, when they hit $4.33 per gallon of regular gasoline, AAA said on Monday.

Since March 11, the national average for a gallon of gasoline has fallen to $4.25. As of March 22, the national average was $4.242 per gallon, per AAA data.

The main reason for the lower gasoline prices since March 11 was the lower international crude oil prices, which slumped last week as a COVID resurgence and new lockdowns sent the market questioning immediate fuel demand in the world’s largest crude oil importer.

“Domestically, gasoline demand is defying seasonal trends and has dipped slightly, perhaps in response to higher prices at the pump,” AAA said on Monday.

“Usually this time of year, with warmer weather and longer days, we’d see an uptick in gasoline demand as more people hit the road,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “But we had a slight drop in demand last week, which may be due to higher pump prices. In our new survey of drivers, 59% said they would change their driving habits or lifestyle if the cost of gas hit $4 per gallon. And if gas were to reach $5, which it has in the Western part of the country, three-quarters said they would need to adjust their lifestyle to offset the pump price.”

Meanwhile, Los Angeles has become the first major U.S. city to reach the $6 per gallon average after reaching $5/gal just weeks ago, GasBuddy’s De Haan said today.
