Can anyone answer me a simple question??

If I am planning refinery output, I would have maintained/boosted gasoline production last week to ensure adequate stocks for the memorial day weekend.

If I own a gas station, I have a supply truck coming every n days to fill my tanks. As a result they dump in as much as I sold the PREVIOUS n days.

In other words, supply anticipates the future while demand reports on the past.

So, why did the analysts expect a drop in gasoline stocks in THIS report??
