ANALYSIS OF GASOLINE SUPPLY FOR THE UNITED STATES DURING THE 1979 SHORTAGE

This report is a regional level analysis of the supply of gasoline during the gasoline shortage of 1979 with focus on trends in the five components of gasoline supply (refinery production, primary stock withdrawals, pipeline movements, tanker and barge movement, and foreign imports) for each Petroleum Administration for Defence (PAD) District in the United States. The objective is to identify trends in the monthly data for the supply components which can be used to signal the onset of such a shortage in the future. A standard material balance for gasoline is performed for each PAD District using monthly data before, during, and after the 1979 shortage. (ERA citation 06:033398)
