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 smaller 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.
KEY: kWh = kilowatt-hour; N = data do not exist; P = preliminary; R = revised.
