中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网2月13日消息称，路透社援引GasBuddy的报道称，上周美国汽油需求上升1.7%，也比四周移动平均值高出3.7%。
GasBuddy的石油分析主管Patrick De Haan在推特上说：“自6月以来，美国汽油需求不仅比前一周每天都增加，而且也超过了四周的平均水平。”
有趣的是，需求似乎在上升，而价格也在上升。尽管如此，价格仍远低于去年初夏的峰值，期货价格从2月3日的每加仑2.32美元上涨至2月10日的2.50美元。
虽然短期内需求可能会增加，但从长期来看，人们预计需求会下降。这将是由于更大的燃油效率和更少的汽车使用，因为越来越多的人选择在家工作。据《金融时报》报道，电动汽车的普及也将削弱汽油需求。
美国去年平均消耗878万桶汽油，比疫情前的记录低了6%。报告指出，美国市场上销售的汽油占全球石油消费量的9%。
与此同时，汽油价格在2月10日的首次出现周下跌，2月5日平均每加仑3.44美元。报告显示，这比前一周下降了4.4美分，但比上个月上升了17.5美分。
