KEY: E = estimate; kWh = kilowatt-hour; N = data do not exist; P =
preliminary.
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.
