NOTES: Data on the cost of railroad diesel fuel come from the Association of American Railroads. All other fuel cost data come from the Energy Information Administration. Gasoline costs are average retail prices. Highway diesel fuel and jet fuel prices are based on sales to end-users (those sales made directly to the ultimate consumer, including bulk customers in agriculture, industry, and utility).
