NOTES
All Countries
Transportation energy consumption: Electrical systems energy losses are excluded from the overall total as well as individual modal totals.
Transit: Canadian and U.S. data refer to all transit, including local transit buses and other road transit vehicles, which also are reported under road. Some ferry boats also are included.
Mexico
Road, other fuels: Refers to liquified petroleum gas.
Road, gasoline, diesel, other fuels: Includes data on transit, motor fuels, and no breakdown is possible.
Rail, distillate/diesel fuel: Includes passenger and cargo services, and no breakdown is possible.
Transit, motor fuels: Data for subcategories cannot be separately identified for transit. Instead they are included in the fuel categories for road (gasoline, diesel and other fuels).
Water transport, residual fuel oil, distillate/diesel fuel oil: In 1991, vessel fuel usage began to change. Diesel substituted for residual fuel oil.
United States
Total: The total differs from the sum of the individual modes for reasons discussed in Appendix B.
