NASEO Summer Transportation Fuels
Outlook Conference 2003
April 8, 2003
Loews L'Enfant Plaza
Hotel, Washington, DC
 The
U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Assurance (OEA), Energy
Information Administration (EIA), and the National Association of State
Energy Officials (NASEO) will soon host the first Summer Transportation
Fuels Outlook Conference. This supply and demand forecast
event was held on April 8, 2003, from 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. at the Loews
L'Enfant Plaza Hotel, Washington, DC 20024.
Global oil supply uncertainty, high demand for transportation fuels,
and lower than normal crude oil, gasoline, and diesel inventory levels may
increase the potential for supply/distribution problems this summer. Minor
perturbations in the distribution system can cause price volatility with
potential surges in prices in localized regions. Diesel fuel prices may
also be high this summer.
To help inform the energy community about the current situation, this
half-day conference will include EIA's Motor Gasoline Outlook along with
presentations by industry representatives, energy experts, and State
officials who will discuss the world oil outlook, gasoline and diesel
supplies, as well as regional fuel issues. An open forum followed the
speaker presentations.
