  aThe remaining portion of 85-percent ethanol is gasoline.  Consumption data include the gasoline portion of the fuel. 
  bMay 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 1995.
  Notes: The estimated consumption of neat methanol (M100), 85-percent methanol (M85), and 95-percent ethanol (E95) is zero for the year included in this table.  Therefore, those fuels are not shown. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.  Some fuel categories show zero fuel consumption in states where vehicle inventory exists.  In these situations, the vehicles are non-dedicated vehicles operating on traditional fuel (e.g., gasoline or diesel fuel).
