| Transportation as percent of total petroleum demand | 50.9% | 51.0% | 51.8% | 53.8% | 55.6% | 63.1% | 65.0% | 65.3% | R65.1% | 65.6% | R65.6% | 67.1% | 66.4% | R66.2% | 66.8% | 67.2% | 68.4% | 68.5% |
KEY: Btu = British thermal unit; R = revised.
NOTE
Transportation's share of U.S. petroleum demand in this table differs slightly from table 4-1 because this table takes into account differences within sectors in the use of various grades of petroleum-based fuel that have different Btu content per unit volume.
