EIA Forecasts East Coast Fuel Inflation
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts that East Coast diesel and heating-oil inventories will remain below their seasonal average this winter, potentially keeping freight and household costs elevated. The EIA expects East Coast inventories to be 20–30% below their 2021–2025 seasonal average, with imports covering about 15% of consumption from December through February. Low global stocks could make replenishment difficult, according to the EIA.
