据油价网5月11日消息，美国每加仑汽油的平均价格因科洛尼尔管道运输公司(Colonial Pipeline)遭勒索软件攻击和随后的中断而上涨。美国汽车协会的数据显示，汽油零售的整体均价目前为每加仑2.985美元，而一年前的均价仅为每加仑1.847美元。
这是自2018年以来最高的汽油价格。根据GasBuddy的数据，美国汽油价格再上涨2美分，将达到7年高点。
这是colonial管道输送中断的第五日。
美国墨西哥湾沿岸的炼油商周一限制了燃料生产，因为越来越难找到运输产品的产能。美国最大的炼油厂阿瑟港的motiva周一将其产量削减了45%。
服务中断影响到整个东海岸地区。
该公司还在美国东南部的加油站提供汽油。据报道，由于供应紧张，加油站的汽油已经售罄，司机们担心在真正需要的时候无法加满汽油，只好争先把油加满。恐慌性抢购加剧了供应中断。
colonial公司表示，要到本周末才能恢复管道的全面服务。在正常运作下，colonial管道系统每天运送250万桶原油。
据彭博社报道，花旗集团(Citigroup)表示，由于输送关闭，美国东海岸面临着“暂时但严重的”燃料短缺的风险。
Colonial Pipeline周二在推特上发表声明称，“公司网站正在经历短暂的服务中断”，这与勒索软件攻击无关。

Panic Buying Sends U.S. Gasoline Prices To Near 7-Year High
The average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States has jumped on the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack and subsequent outage. The overall average price of retail gasoline is now at $2.985 per gallon, according to AAA. This compares to a year-ago average of just $1.847 per gallon.
This is the highest gasoline price since 2018. Another two-cent rise for U.S. gasoline prices and it would be at a 7-year high, according to GasBuddy data.
It is the Colonial Pipeline’s fifth outage day.
U.S. Gulf Coast refiners curbed their fuel production on Monday, as it became more and more difficult to find takeaway capacity to move their products. One such refiner—Motiva in Port Arthur, the largest one in the United States—slashed its production by 45% on Monday.
The service disruption is affecting the entire East Coast region.
It has also run dry gas stations in the southeast United States, as gas stations report they have sold out of gasoline as supplies run tight and drivers scramble to top off for fear that they won’t be able to fill up when they truly need it. The panic buying has exacerbated the outage.
Colonial Pipeline has said it will not be able to restore the pipeline to full service until sometime this weekend. Under normal operations, the Colonial pipeline system ships 2.5 million barrels per day.
Citigroup has stated that the East Coast is at risk of a “temporary, but major shortage” of fuels due to the closure, according to Bloomberg.
Colonial Pipeline issued a statement on Twitter on Tuesday that said it was “experiencing a temporary service disruption to our corporate website” that was unrelated to the ransomware attack.
