據Oil & Gas Journal網站5月18日消息 美國能源信息署（EIA）數據顯示，由于colonial輸油管道運營中斷，5月17日美國普通汽油平均零售價升至3.03美元/加侖，這是自2014年10月27日以來汽油零售價首次平均超過3美元/加侖。Lower Atlantic (PADD 1C)地區汽油平均零售價格比上周的2.88美元/加侖上漲了10美分。

　　Lower Atlantic汽油零售價格上漲的原因是，許多地區加油站發生了中斷，主要由于管道中斷阻礙了供應，并因加油站中斷而增加了汽油采購。5月17日，新英格蘭（PADD 1A）和Central Atlantic (PADD 1B)地區的汽油零售價格平均分別為2.93美元/加侖和3.04美元/加侖，分別上漲了6美分和5美分。The Midwest (PADD 2)和墨西哥灣沿岸(PADD 3)汽油零售價格平均分別為2.91美元/加侖和2.78美元/加侖，分別上漲5美分和11美分。

　　在5月7日星期五關閉之后，colonial管道于5月12日星期三重啟了部分管道運營。5月15日該公司表示，該系統已恢復正常運行。通過colonial輸油管道的運輸速度約為每小時5英里，因此一些市場可能需要依賴地區庫存，直到燃料能夠通過colonial輸油管道。

　　EIA最近的每周石油狀況報告（WPSR）包括截至5月7日東海岸及其次區域的每周區域期末庫存數據，其中包括管道關閉前的汽油庫存。5月7日，Lower Atlantic地區的車用汽油庫存總量為2460萬桶，比5年平均水平低7%。新英格蘭和Central Atlantic的車用汽油庫存合計為4000萬桶，約等于5年平均水平。

　　Average US retail gasoline price exceeds $3/gal for first time since late 2014

　　Disruptions to Colonial Pipeline operations prompted an increase in the average US retail price for regular grade gasoline (retail gasoline price) to $3.03/gal on May 17, marking the first time retail gasoline prices averaged more than $3/gal since Oct. 27, 2014, according to US Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. The average retail gasoline price in the Lower Atlantic (PADD 1C) increased 10￠/gal from the previous week to $2.88/gal.

　　The increased retail price for gasoline in the Lower Atlantic resulted from outages at many regional gas stations, which occurred due to the pipeline disruption that hindered supply and increased gasoline purchases in response to station outages. On May 17, New England (PADD 1A) and Central Atlantic (PADD 1B) retail gasoline prices averaged $2.93/gal and $3.04/gal, respectively, up 6￠/gal and 5￠/gal from the previous week. The Midwest (PADD 2) and Gulf Coast (PADD 3) retail gasoline prices averaged $2.91/gal and $2.78/gal, respectively, up 5￠/gal and 11￠/gal from the previous week.

　　After shutting down Friday, May 7, Colonial Pipeline restarted some pipeline operations on Wednesday, May 12 (OGJ Online, May 13, 2021). On Saturday, May 15, the company said it had returned the system to normal operations. Shipments through Colonial Pipeline move about 5 mph, so some markets may need to rely on regional inventories until fuel can move through the Colonial Pipeline.

　　EIA’s most recent Weekly Petroleum Status Report (WPSR) includes weekly regional closing inventory data for the East Coast and its subregions as of May 7, which include gasoline inventories just prior to the pipeline shutdown. On May 7, total motor gasoline stocks in the Lower Atlantic region were 24.6 million bbl, 7% less than the 5-year average. Motor gasoline stocks in the New England and Central Atlantic regions combined totaled 40.0 million bbl, about equal to the 5-year average.
