据彭博新闻社2021年7月8日报道，由于美国人在7月4日假期周末开始上路，美国国内汽油需求飙升至历史新高。
据美国能源信息署(EIA公布的)数据，截至7月2日当周，美国汽油日供应量飙升至1000万桶，为1990年以来的最高汽油日需求量。
随着接种疫苗和放松经济限制促使更多美国人恢复新冠肺炎疫情大流行前的生活方式，汽油需求已重新站稳了脚步。 今年油价上涨了近50%，美国炼油厂为满足燃料需求几乎开足了马力。 虽然美国经济复苏步伐加快，但全球最大的石油生产国无法就如何供应市场达成一致，潜在的不利因素仍然存在，沙特阿拉伯主张适度增加供应。
总部位于美国丹佛的能源咨询和分析公司PetroNerds联合创始人特里莎?柯蒂斯表示：“由于价格飙升和夏季驾车出行人数增多，汽油需求正在反弹，但由于高油价和通胀，9月份的情况可能会有所不同。”
需求的移动平均数也出现攀升，达到了2019年末以来的最高水平。 但季节性数据仍比2019年7月低约15万桶/天，表明市场仍有一些复苏空间。
尽管汽油价格处于2014年以来的最高水平，美国的驾车者还是大量上路。 据美国汽车俱乐部（AAA）公布的数据，美国境内7月8日的平均汽油价格为每加仑3.14美元。

USA Gasoline Demand Hits Record High
Gasoline demand surged to a a record high as Americans took to the road for the July 4th holiday weekend.
Gasoline supplied, a proxy for demand, rose to 10 million barrels a day the week ended July 2, the highest in data going back to 1990, according to the Energy Information Administration.
Demand has regained its footing as vaccinations and easing economic restrictions propel more Americans to resume their pre-pandemic lifestyles. Oil prices have risen almost 50% this year as U.S. refineries run close to full-bore to keep up with fuel demand. While the U.S. recovery quickens, the world’s largest oil producers can’t agree on how to supply the market with Saudi Arabia advocating for tempered supply increases given the potential headwinds that still exist.
“Demand is bucking with the price spikes and summer driving, but with high gas prices and inflation, the picture in September may look different,” said Trisha Curtis, co-founder of PetroNerds.
The moving average for demand also climbed higher, reaching the most since late 2019. But on a seasonal basis the figure was still about 150,000 barrels a day short of July 2019, suggesting the market still has some room to recover.
U.S. motorists hit the road in large numbers despite contending with the highest gasoline prices since 2014. The average pump price Thursday was $3.14 a gallon, according to auto club AAA.
