Imports of ethanol were zero b/d, unchanged from last week. Not a drop of fuel ethanol imports have been recorded by EIA so far this year.
Gasoline demand for the week averaged 399.1 million gallons (9.503 million barrels) daily—a four-week high. Year-to-date gasoline consumption is up nearly 3.5% over year-ago levels. Meanwhile, refiner/blender input of ethanol averaged 867,000 b/d, the lowest in six weeks.
Expressed as a percentage of daily gasoline demand, daily ethanol production was 10.47%.
