Motor gasoline supply and demand through 1980. Analysis Memorandum AM/ES/78-19

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6072262
Estimates of motor gasoline supply and demand provided to the Economic Regulatory Administration are presented and the methodology used to derive those estimates is described. In this analysis a regional econometric model is used to estimate future motor gasoline demand based on alternate assumptions about economic growth. Next, a refinery model is used to estimate the refining capacity required to meet the projected demand levels. Projected refining capacity requirements are compared with projected available refinery capacity to determine whether motor gasoline supply will be adequate to satisfy the projected demand.
