KEY: BTU = British thermal unit; TM = ton-miles.
NOTES: General aviation data are excluded because passenger and freight operations data cannot be disaggregated. Marine gasoline use data are excluded from freight energy use total because marine gasoline is used primarily in recreational vehicles. Pipeline data are excluded because ton-miles data include all types of petroleum products, and energy consumption data are available for natural gas only. Commercial domestic aviation fuel consumption data for passenger and freight operations were estimated from the total commercial domestic aviation fuel consumption.
