Footnotes:

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

b Hydrocarbon gas liquids, include natural gas liquids and refinery olefins.

c 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.

d Includes asphalt and road oil, kerosene, lubricants, petroleum coke, and the “other petroleum products” category. See technical notes, Section 4.

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

f 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.

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

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

i Electricity sales to ultimate customers reported by electric utilities and, beginning in 1996, other energy service providers.

Where shown, R = Revised data and (s) = Value less than 0.05 million dollars.

Where shown, — = No consumption, including cases where adjustments were made. See explanation of adjustments in Section 7 of the technical notes.

Notes: · Expenditure totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. · The industrial sector includes industrial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and industrial electricity-only plants.
