KEY: R = revised; U = data are not available.
a Includes trunk and gathering lines.
b Excludes service pipe. Data are not adjusted to common diameter equivalent. Mileage as of the end of each year.
c After 1975, includes 5,000-6,200 miles of underground storage pipe.
NOTE
For gas pipeline data from 1960-1997, numbers may not add to totals due to rounding because the source provides exact numbers for totals, but rounded mileage for subtotals. Exact subtotals were not available for 1998.
