# Gasoline Production Change

## Data Summary

**Week Ending February 27, 2026**

- **Current Week:** +0.119 million barrels per day (+119,000 bbl/d)
- **Previous Week:** -0.223 million barrels per day (-223,000 bbl/d)
- **Week-over-Week Improvement:** +342,000 bbl/d (strong rebound)

## Context

Refinery gasoline production rebounded sharply after the prior week's contraction. The swing from a 223,000 bbl/d decline to a 119,000 bbl/d increase represents a 342,000 bbl/d operational improvement.

## Assessment

The strong production rebound reflects increased refinery utilization and restoration of output capacity to normal operations. This production recovery supports observed demand signals (gasoline stock draws of 1.704 Mbbl) and aligns with the significant increase in crude runs (+180,000 bbl/d). Refineries are operating at higher throughput levels, producing more gasoline to meet underlying demand.
