KEY: Btu = British thermal unit; 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.
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 = 37,626,700 joules/liter
Compressed natural gas = 38,657,950 joules/liter
Aviation gasoline = 33,501,698 joules/liter
Distillate fuel = 38,655,829 joules/liter
Automotive gasoline = 34,839,537 joules/liter
Residual fuel = 41,723,829 joules/liter
Diesel motor fuel = 38,657,950 joules/liter
Natural gas = 38,413,974 joules/m3
Electricity 1kWh = 3,600,000 joules/kWh, negating electrical system losses.
To include approximate electrical system losses, multiply this conversion factor
by 3.
