To supply those services, bonded fuel imports climbed to 115,000 b/d — doubling the rates seen over the summer months. Refinery utilization rates reached 88% of capacity but oil firms concentrated on gasoil output, which pushed jet fuel production down to 139,000 b/d. Exports dwindled to just 12,000 b/d.
