Meanwhile, gasoline demand for the same week averaged 351.9 million gallons daily. Expressed as a percentage of daily gasoline demand, daily ethanol production was 10.66%. Since the beginning of the year, weekly gasoline demand has averaged 345.7 million gallons daily, meaning the annualized E10 blend wall is 12.6 billion gallons.
