? 與前一個周日相比,上周日美國的汽油需求增長了12.6%
? 美國汽油價格上周從3月11日的高點略有下降
據美國油價網3月22日報道,節油應用軟件的石油分析主管帕特里克·德·哈恩3月22日表示,3月20日,油價統計軟件GasBuddy公布的美國汽油需求達到了2017年以來的最高水平。
根據GasBuddy的數據,美國3月20日的汽油需求比前一個周日增加了12.6%。 德·哈恩指出,這也比過去4個周日的平均水平高出14.5%。
美國汽車協會(AAA)3月21日表示,上周美國汽油價格比3月11日觸及的高點小幅下跌,當時美國普通汽油價格觸及每加侖4.33美元。
自3月11日以來,美國全國汽油均價已跌至每加侖4.25美元。 截至3月22日,根據AAA的數據,美國全國平均汽油價格為每加侖4.242美元。
自3月11日以來,汽油價格走低的主要原因是國際原油價格下跌。上周,由于疫情的蔓延,國際原油價格下跌,且市場對世界最大的原油進口國的燃料油需求產生了質疑。
AAA 3月21日表示:“在國內,汽油需求與季節性趨勢不符,略有下降,這可能是對汽油價格上漲的反應。”
AAA發言人安德魯·格羅斯說:“通常每年的這個時候,隨著天氣變暖,白天變長,我們會看到汽油需求的上升,因為更多的人上路了。”“但上周需求略有下降,這可能是由于汽油價格上漲。 在我們對司機的最新調查中,59%的人表示,如果汽油價格達到每加侖4美元,他們將改變他們的駕駛習慣或生活方式。 如果油價漲到5美元,就像美國西部地區那樣,四分之三的人表示,他們將需要調整生活方式,以抵消汽油價格的上漲。”
與此同時,GasBuddy的德·哈恩3月22日表示,洛杉磯已經成為美國第一個汽油價格達到6美元/加侖的大城市,而就在幾周前,它的汽油價格就達到了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.
