^aRevenue passenger-miles data prior to 2001 are fiscal year data; 2001 data and more recent data are calendar year data.

^b Does not include electric power generation and distribution losses, which, if included, would triple the electric conversion factor given below and increase the numbers in this row by about 20 percent.

^cElectric usage and diesel usage data are calendar year data.

Energy Intensity of Class I Railroad Freight Service

KEY:  Btu = British thermal unit.

Energy Intensity of Transit Motor Buses

KEY: Btu = British thermal unit; KWH = Kilowatt hour; N = data do not exist.

^a Before 2002, Other major fuels includes liquefied petroleum gas, methanol, ethanol, and bunker fuel. From 2002 - 13, Other major fuels includes liquefied petroleum gas, methanol, ethanol, bunker fuel, kerosene, and grain additive. After 2013, other major fuels includes liquefied petroleum gas, ethanol and hydrogen.

Average Fuel Efficiency of U.S. Light Duty Vehicles

KEY: CAFE = Corporate Average Fuel Economy; GVWR = gross vehicle weight rating; mpg = miles per gallon; U = data are not available.

^a Data from 2007 were calculated using a new methodology developed by FHWA. Data for these years are based on new categories and are not comparable to previous years. The new category Light duty vehicle, short wheel base replaces the old category Passenger car and includes passenger cars, light trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles with a wheelbase (WB) equal to or less than 121 inches. The new category Light...

Energy Intensity of Light Duty Vehicles and Motorcycles

KEY: Btu = British thermal unit; N = data do not exist; U = data are not available.

^aMotorcycle is included in Light duty vehicle, short wheel base (previously Passenger car) in 1960 and 1965.

^b Energy Intensity (Btu/passenger-mile) is calculated by converting the fuel consumption in gallons to the energy equivalent Btu units and dividing by the passenger-miles. The heat equivalent factor used for Btu conversion is 125,000 Btus/gallon.

Energy Intensity of Certificated Air Carriers, All Services

KEY:  Btu = British thermal unit; R = revised.

^a U.S. owned carriers only. Operations of foreign-owned carriers in or out of the United States not included.

Energy Intensity of Passenger Modes

KEY: Btu = British thermal unit; N = data do not exist; U = data are not available.
