Driving, Petchems Lift US Oil Demand

摘要

US oil demand in May popped over 20 million barrels per day for the first time since December 2019 in a sign that the economic recovery from the pandemic continues. At 20.1 million b/d, US oil consumption was still 450,000 b/d below its average in 2019, but monthly fuel use was 2 million b/d higher than in 2020, when Covid-19 restrictions limited demand.
