"a The average of the wasted fuel per person for each urban area category for 2000 was obtained from table A-6 of TTI's The 2002 Annual Urban Mobility Report referenced below.  For all other years it was calculated using raw data obtained from internet site http://mobility.tamu.edu as of Aug. 5, 2002, where the total annual wasted fuel per person for each year and urban area was divided by the number of cities in that particular urban area. ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
NOTES,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"""Wasted"" fuel is the difference between the fuel consumed under estimated existing conditions and the fuel consumed if all traffic was moving at free-flow conditions.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Calculations are made for peak period speeds and for free-flow speeds on both the freeway and principal arterial system.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"For a more detailed description of the formulas used, see the source document.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"The cities shown represent the 50 largest metropolitan areas, as well as others chosen by the states sponsoring the study.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Percent changes for area averages were calculated before rounding.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
