*This chart compares the latest monthly EIA petroleum supply
report with the previous weekly report and final year-ago
numbers. The EIA's monthly report always differs from the
weekly report as the monthly reflects data supplied from all
U.S. energy companies, while the weekly report surveys the
biggest companies representing about 90 percent of the market.
The total demand number reflects many petroleum products beyond
gasoline, distillate, jet fuel and residual fuel listed in the
table.
