a Domestic operations only.
b
Includes fuel used in air taxi operations,
but not commuter operations. Data for
1996 are estimated using new information on nonrespondents and are therefore
not comparable to earlier years. See
the accuracy statement in the appendix for more detailed information.
c
Prior to 1984, excludes commuter rail,
automated guideway, ferryboat, demand responsive vehicles, and most rural and
small systems.
d Gasoline
and all other nondiesel fuels such as liquefied natural gas, methanol, and
propane, except compressed natural gas.
e Included in single-unit 2-axle 6-tire or
more truck category.
NOTES
3.785412 liters = 1 gallon.
0.03 cubic meters = 1 cubic foot.
