U.S. crude supply down, gasoline up

WASHINGTON, June 14 (UPI) -- U.S. crude oil inventories fell last week 900,000 barrels from the previous week, the Energy Department said Wednesday.

At 345.7 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories remain well above the upper

end of the average range for this time of year.

Gasoline inventories increased by 2.8 million barrels last week, and are in the middle of the average range.

A large increase in ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel was almost completely compensated by a decline in regular diesel fuel, while heating oil inventories rose by 1.8 million barrels.
