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 = 135,000 Btu/gallon
Compressed natural gas = 138,700 Btu/gallon
Aviation gasoline = 120,200 Btu/gallon
Distillate fuel = 138,700 Btu/gallon
Automotive gasoline = 125,000 Btu/gallon
Residual fuel = 149,700 Btu/gallon
Diesel motor fuel = 138,700 Btu/gallon
Natural gas = 1,031 Btu/ft3
Electricity 1kWh = 3,412 Btu, negating electrical system losses. To include
approximate electrical system losses, multiply this conversion factor by 3.
