U.S. gasoline inventories posted a sharp decline, swinging from a previous build to a notable drawdown, according to data updated on 19 February 2026. Stockpiles fell by 3.213 million barrels, compared with a prior increase of 1.160 million barrels.

The move from a positive to a negative reading suggests a marked shift in the balance between supply and demand in the U.S. gasoline market. A draw of this size can indicate firmer consumption, tighter supply, or a combination of both, and may influence short-term pricing dynamics and refinery planning as the market reassesses near-term fuel availability.
