Gasoline futures fell to a three-month low on speculation

Tropical Storm Edouard won't do much to disrupt crude

oil operations or refining along the Texas and

Louisiana coasts.

Gasoline for September delivery in New York fell 2.11 cents,

or 0.7 percent, to $2.9790 a gallon at 12:02 p.m. Singapore time.

Yesterday, the contract 8.41 cents, or 2.7 percent, to settle at

$3.0002 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange,

the lowest close since May 2.

U.S. refineries ran at 87.2 percent of capacity in the week ended

July 25, down 6.5 percentage points from a year earlier, as high

prices of crude oil and declining gasoline demand cut

refining margins.

U.S. gasoline supplies probably fell for a second week as declining

profit margins curbed refinery output, according to a Bloomberg

News survey of analysts.

Gasoline stockpiles probably fell 1.75 million barrels from 213.6

million barrels the week before, according to the median of

responses by eight analysts before an Energy Department

report this week. Seven analysts predicted a decrease, and

one said there was a gain.
