Brent crude futures slipped below $112 a barrel on Wednesday after industry data showed U.S. crude inventories fell less than anticipated last week and the dollar rebounded against the euro.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) said crude inventories fell 860,000 barrels for the week ended May 20, compared with analysts' expectations for a 1.3 million-barrel draw.
Gasoline stocks rose 2.4 million barrels a week before the Memorial Day weekend, the official start of the summer driving season. Analysts had only expected a 300,000-barrel build.
"The inventory numbers are driving prices lower. The rise in gasoline stocks is significant coming just before Memorial Day. If the EIA numbers show a rise as well that will put more pressure on prices," said Michel Lo, a Hong Kong-based analyst with Nomura International.
As the U.S. driving season approaches, traders have been closely eyeing the steady drawdown of gasoline stockpiles.
