Visits by U.S. consumers to retail fuel stations rose last week in all parts of the country except the East Coast, according to data released Wednesday by RBC Capital Markets. The bank began tracking vehicle traffic at more than 135,000 U.S. fueling stations early this month and releases the numbers when the Energy Information Administration publishes its weekly supply and demand report. RBC said driver visits to the stations rose in the Midwest, Rocky Mountains, Gulf Coast and West Coast. Rocky Mountain stations saw a 2.87 increase in visits, while West Coast traffic rose by 2.24 from the previous week. More modest weekto- week increases of 0.39 were seen in the Gulf Coast and 0.87 in the Midwest. Visits in the East Coast last week fell by 0.51 from the previous week, the bank said.
