US faces Y2K with 30-day gas supply

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29 (UPI) -- The United States has about a 30-day supply of gasoline on hand heading into the New Year. The American Petroleum Institute said Wednesday that inventories as of last week included about 60 million barrels of fuel available at retail gas stations and another 192.6 million barrels in pipelines, storage tanks, and at the refineries. The API said consumers go through about 8 million barrels of gasoline per day; there are 42 gallons in a barrel.
