* U.S. crude oil and product inventories were expected to have decreased last week, a preliminary Reuters poll showed on Monday.
* Seven analysts polled by Reuters estimated on average that crude inventories fell by about 300,000 barrels in the week to March 3.
* Gasoline stocks fell by 1.9 million barrels, they forecast.
* Slashed output at Germany's Schwedt oil refinery demonstrates the difficulty Berlin faces in turning away from Russian oil, despite plans to work with Poland to find alternative supply.
* Three months after Warsaw and Berlin agreed to work together the refinery is running at 50-60% of capacity and those alternative supplies remain elusive.
* Gasoline held in independent storage in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) refining and storage area fell 2.3% to 1.42 million tonnes, Refinitiv data showed, even as exports to the United States and West Africa slowed down.
* U.S. gasoline stocks fell by 900,000 barrels in the week to 239.2 million barrels, EIA government data showed, compared with analysts' expectations for a 500,000-barrel rise.
* Colonial Pipeline Co is allocating space for Cycle 16 on Line 1, its main gasoline line, the company said in a notice sent to shippers on Tuesday. ? Trades Bids Offers Prev. Sellers Buyers (vol.) Trades
