Values are final. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Percentage change is calculated before rounding. Petroleum Liquids includes distillate and residual fuel oils. See the Technical Notes for fuel conversion factors.
