KEY: R = revised.

NOTES: Transportation's share of U.S. petroleum demand in this table differs slightly from table 4-1because this table takes into account differences within sectors in the use of various grades of petroleum-based fuel that have different petajoule content per unit volume.

Numbers may differ slightly from previous year's metric tables because a higher precision conversion factor was used.
