b) Crude inventories rose from 326.6 million barrels to 332.7 million barrels, during the week, an indication that production is exceeding demand.
c) Gasoline inventories increased by 6.5 million barrels to 220 million barrels, while supplies of distillate fuels, which includes heating oil, rose by 0.8 million barrels to 145 million barrels.
d) Finished gasoline and gasoline blending components inventories also rose during the week, EIA reported.
