Weekly petroleum report (a dynamic link): a PDF report, some data points (released yesterday):

• US crude oil inventories (does not include the SPR): increased by almost 5 million bbls
• currently, almost 420 million bbls -- highest level for this time of the year in at least the last 80 years
• gasoline inventories at the upper limit of average range
• propane/propylene are well above the upper limit of the average range
