United States Using
1,000,000 Barrels of
Gasoline Each Day
WASHINGTON. June 22.—(.4*)—
1 hough extraordinary efforts in the
petroleum industry set up this year
have failed to check expansion of
crude oil output, it is now growing
apparent that current huge con
sumption of petroleum products,
chiefly gasoline, is closely matching
the demand to the supply.
The crude oil coming to the sur
face at the record-shattering rate
cf 2.700.000 barrels a day. it would
tie normal expectation to have stor
age facilities swamped, but G. R
Hopkins, petroleum economist for
the bureau of mines, after some
study cf the available records ex
pressed the opinion that even this
tremendous flow is not operating
at the moment to increase oil
stocks.
Gasoline consumption is running
at the rate of more than 1,000,000
i barre's a day in the United States.
Mr. Hopkins estimates, while ex
ports ol gasoline closely balance
supply obtainable from imports of
crude. Fuel oil consumption is fig
ured at close to 1 000 000 barrels ad
ditional. With 29.000,000 automo
biles operating in the country, the
rough approximation of figures in
dicates that possibly two gallcis of
gas is daily needed by each ma
chine. and with 600.000 new ma
chines being turned out monthlv by
factories, it is confidently anttci
J paled that summer month pas con
rumption will rea^h new high lev
els. The tendency of gas consump
tion fleures to increase is now well
established.
