據油價網2月14日消息：根據節油應用GasBuddy的數據，隨著美國冬季風暴的緩解，上周汽油需求猛增，比四周滾動平均水平高出1.8%，而汽油價格則在飆升，本周可能觸及每加侖3.50美元的全國平均水平。

GasBuddy石油分析主管帕特里克·德哈恩在《周刊》雜志上表示，由于冬季風暴消退，GasBuddy數據顯示，上周美國每周汽油需求比前一周猛增6.4%，比四周滾動平均值高出1.8%。周一美國汽油需求更新。

按日細分，本周前三天美國汽油需求在前一周飆升后趨于平穩。然而，德哈恩指出，本周晚些時候，汽油需求在下半周反彈，周三比上周三增長4.9%，周四比上周四增長34.3%，周五比上周五增長30.1%，周六下降10.1%。

德哈恩周日表示，隨著布倫特原油價格在周一早盤觸及每桶95美元，隨后在當天晚些時候回落，美國汽油的全國平均價格本周可能會繼續上漲。

他在推特上寫道:“西得克薩斯中質油(WTI)每桶94美元，全國平均汽油價格本周將超過3.50美元/加侖。”

美國汽車協會(AAA)數據顯示，截至2月14日，全國普通汽油平均價格為每加侖3.488美元。這高于一個月前的3.306美元/加侖，也高于去年同期的2.505美元/加侖。

AAA周一表示，高油價仍是近幾周油價飆升的主要驅動力，并補充稱，“冬季天氣溫和以及對omicron變體可能消退的樂觀情緒導致了天然氣需求增加。”

AAA發言人安德魯·格羅斯說:“更多的司機在這里加油，再加上全球石油供應持續緊張，導致油價上漲。不幸的是，對于消費者來說，這種趨勢似乎不會很快改變。”

U.S. Gasoline Demand And Prices Jump

As winter storms across the United States eased, gasoline demand jumped last week to stand at 1.8 percent above the four-week rolling average, according to data from for fuel-savings app GasBuddy, while gasoline prices are soaring and could hit a national average of $3.50 a gallon this week.

Due to fading winter storms, GasBuddy data showed that weekly U.S. gasoline demand jumped by 6.4 percent last week from the previous week and was 1.8 percent above the four week rolling average, Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in the Weekly US Gasoline Demand Update on Monday.

Broken down by day, the first three days of the week saw U.S. gasoline demand level off after spiking the prior week. Later in the week, however, gasoline demand bounced back for the second half of the week with Wednesday up 4.9 percent from the prior Wednesday, Thursday jumped 34.3 percent from the prior Thursday with Friday up 30.1 percent from the prior Friday, and Saturday down 10.1 percent, De Haan noted.

As Brent oil prices hit $95 a barrel early on Monday, before paring gains later in the day, the national average U.S. gasoline price will likely continue to rise this week, De Haan said on Sunday.

“WTI $94, national average gas price will eclipse $3.50/gal this week,” he tweeted.

As of February 14, the national average per gallon of regular gasoline was $3.488, AAA data showed. That’s up from $3.306/gal a month ago and up from the $2.505/gal price at this time last year.

High crude oil prices remain the main driver behind the jump in pump prices in recent weeks, AAA said on Monday, adding that “Moderating winter weather and optimism over a potential fading of the omicron variant have led to an increase in gas demand.”

“More drivers fueling up here coupled with a persistent tight supply of oil worldwide provides the recipe for higher prices at the pump,” AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said. “And unfortunately for consumers, it does not appear that this trend will change anytime soon.”
