Gasoline inventories increased 3.9 million barrels, while distillate inventories decreased 1.5 million barrels. Refineries processed an average of 16.5 million barrels a day at 92.8% capacity utilisation. Inventory changes are weekly stock movements, while refinery processing is an average daily flow.
