Though gasoline prices are down, that has done little to drive up product demand. The U.S. Department of Energy reported that the demand for gasoline fell by 3.5% y/y, nearly the fastest rate of decline since late-1995 (the latest four weeks versus the same four weeks last year). The demand for all petroleum products also fell 4.9% y/y.

These DOE figures are available in Haver's OILWKLY database.

The price for a barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude oil fell last week by five dollars from the prior week's average to $39.65 per barrel, down by two-thirds since the peak in July of $145.66. In futures trading yesterday, the one-month price for crude oil was $39.91.

Last week, prices for natural gas were unchanged w/w at $5.67 per mmbtu (-20.7% y/y). The latest average price was 50% below natural gas prices in early-July of $13.19/mmbtu.
