  aThe remaining portion of 85-percent ethanol (E85) is gasoline.
  bDiesel-electric hybrid vehicles are not grouped under the Electric fuel category because the input fuel is diesel rather than an alternative transportation fuel. DOE, which has Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT92) implementation authority, ruled that diesel-electric hybrids are not "alternative fueled vehicles."
  cGasoline-electric hybrid vehicles are not grouped under the Electric fuel category because the input fuel is gasoline rather than an alternative transportation fuel. DOE, which has EPACT 1992 implementation authority, ruled that gasoline-electric hybrids are not "alternative fueled vehicles."
  Notes: w = withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company data. Light Duty includes vehicles less than or equal to 8,500 GVWR. Medium Duty includes vehicles 8,501 to 26,000 GVWR. Heavy Duty includes vehicles 26,001 and over GVWR.
