That drop could be due in large part to refineries using more crude to produce gasoline, diesel and other refined products. Tom Pawlicki, director of market research at EOX Live, told Platts that gasoline supplies should rise as refineries ramp up. "Demand has been trending lower since mid-November and shouldn't pressure inventories much," Pawlicki said. Analysts surveyed by Platts think the nation's gasoline inventories rose by 250,000 barrels last week. In other energy futures trading: Wholesale gasoline rose less than a cent to end at $2.82 a gallon. Brent crude, used to price various kinds of foreign oil, fell 27 cents to finish at $110.80 per barrel in London. Heating oil rose 2 cents to end at $3.07 a gallon. Natural gas lost 4 cents to finish at $3.35 per 1,000 cubic feet.
