KEY: Btu = British thermal unit; N
= data do not exist; R = revised; U = data are unavailable.
a Domestic operations only.
b Includes fuel used in air taxi operations,
but not commuter operations.
c Prior to 1984, excludes commuter rail, automated guideway,
ferryboat, demand responsive vehicles, and most rural and smaller systems.
d Gasoline and all other nondiesel fuels such
as liquefied natural gas, methanol, and propane, except compressed natural
gas.
e Included in other single-unit 2-axle 6-tire
or more truck category.
NOTES
The following conversion rates were used:
Jet fuel = 135,000 Btu/gallon Compressed
natural gas = 138,700 Btu/gallon
Aviation
gasoline = 120,200 Btu/gallon
Distillate
fuel = 138,700 Btu/gallon
Automotive
gasoline = 125,000 Btu/gallon
Residual
fuel = 149,700 Btu/gallon
Diesel
motor fuel = 138,700 Btu/gallon
Natural
gas = 1,031 Btu/ft3
Electricity 1kWh = 3,412
Btu, negating electrical system losses. To include approximate electrical
system losses, multiply this conversion factor by 3.
