Sorry, refining numbers depicted in graph are not accurate picture of total gasoline consumption. It is off a little, not a lot.
Check out this report,
Total Retail Gasoline Deliveries by Refiners, as opposed to the one I posted in the article and you will see that my chart is actually quite accurate.
If you like raw numbers instead of graphs, than here are some that go back to Nov 2009 to compare on a Month by Month basis.

I need to get ready for church now, so if you have any numbers besides just your words to rebut my assertion, I would be glad to check them out later this afternoon. It may be way later however, because I am still recovering from spinal surgery I had on my lower neck and back 10 days ago and I run out of energy real quick. I will probably be resting most of the afternoon.
