^a The remaining portion of 85% methanol, 85% ethanol, and 95% ethanol fuels is gasoline. Consumption data include the gasoline portion of the fuel.
^b Includes a very small amount of other ethers, primarily tertiary-amyl-methyl-ether and ethyl-tertiary-butyl-ether.
^c Gasoline consumption includes ethanol in gasohol and methyl-tertiary-butyl-ether.
^d Total fuel consumption is the sum of alternative fuels, gasoline and diesel. Oxygenate consumption is included in gasoline consumption.
