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 liquified natural gas, methanol, and propane, except compressed natural gas.
e Included in other single-unit 2-axle 6-tire or more truck category.
KEY: Btu = British thermal units; kWh = kilowatt-hour; N = data do not exist; P = preliminary; R = revised.
NOTES: The following conversion rates were used:
Jet fuel = 135,000 Btu/gal. Compressed natural gas = 138,700 Btu/gal.
Aviation gasoline = 120,200 Btu/gal.Distillate fuel = 138,700 Btu/gal.
Automotive gasoline = 125,000 Btu/gal.Residual fuel = 149,700 Btu/gal.
Diesel motor fuel = 138,700 Btu/gal.Natural gas = 1,031 Btu/ft3
Electricity 1kWh = 3,412 Btu, negating electrical system loses. To include electrical system loses, multiply this conversion factor by approximately 3.
