据道琼斯6月7日消息,美国能源信息署(EIA)将今年美国汽油需求预测值上调至933万桶/天,将超过2007年创下的929万桶/天的历史最高水平,创下历史新高。由于汽车燃料效率日益提高,业内广泛认为美国汽油需求已经在2007年创下历史峰值,但是当前廉价的汽油已经刺激更多的消费者增加行驶里程,以及购买排量更大的汽车。

EIA: US Gasoline Demand to Hit High
The EIA ups its forecast for US gasoline demand this year to 9.33M barrels/day, which would be the highest level on record, surpassing the previous high of 9.29M set in 2007. US gasoline demand was widely thought to have peaked in 2007 as cars became increasingly fuel efficient, but cheap gasoline prices have spurred more consumers to hit the road and buy bigger cars.
