1Includes vehicles using compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG).

2Excludes E85 vehicles used by private individuals (non-fleet users) because most of those are believed to be in use as traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.

3Excludes gasoline-electric and diesel-electric hybrids.

4May include P-Series fuel or any other fuel designated by the Secretary of Energy as an alternative fuel in accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 1992.

NOTES: The estimated number of neat methanol (M100), 85-percent methanol (M85), and 95-percent ethanol (E95) vehicles in use is zero for all years included in this table. Therefore, those fuels are not shown.
