KEY: Btu = British thermal unit; kWh = kilowatt hour; N = data do not exist.
NOTE: The heat equivalent factors used in Btu conversions are: diesel = 138,700 Btu/gallon; electric = 3,412 Btu/kWh, negating electrical system loses (to include electrical system loses, multiply this conversion factor by approximately three).
