Footnotes:

a Includes supplemental gaseous fuels that are commingled with natural gas.

b Beginning in 2013, includes biodiesel blended into distillate fuel oil. Beginning in 2021, includes biodiesel product supplied.

c Hydrocarbon gas liquids, assumed to be propane only.

d Beginning in 1993, includes fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline. There is a discontinuity in the expenditure series between 2014 and 2015 because of changes in consumption estimates from the source. See consumption technical notes, Section 4.

e Includes small amounts of petroleum coke not shown separately.

f Wood, wood-derived fuels, and biomass waste. Prior to 2001, includes non-biomass waste.

g There is a discontinuity in this time series between 1988 and 1989 due to the expanded coverage of the use of wood and biomass waste beginning in 1989.

h There are no direct fuel costs for hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, or wind energy.

i For 1981 through 1992, includes fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline that is not included in the motor gasoline column.
