aIncludes supplemental gaseous fuels that are commingled with natural gas. hFor 1981 through 1992, includes fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline that is not included in the motor
gasoline column.
bHydrocarbon gas liquids, include natural gas liquids and refinery olefins. Where shown, R = Revised data and (s) = Value less than 0.05 million dollars.
cBeginning 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.
Where shown, — = No consumption, including cases where adjustments were made. See explanation of
adjustments in Section 7 of the Technical Notes.
dIncludes asphalt and road oil, kerosene, lubricants, petroleum coke, and the “other petroleum products”
category. See Technical Notes, Section 4.
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.
eWood, wood-derived fuels, and biomass waste. Prior to 2001, includes non-biomass waste. Web Page: All data are available at https://www.eia.gov/state/seds/seds-data-complete.php.
fThere 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.
Sources: Data sources, estimation procedures, and assumptions are described in the Technical Notes.
gThere are no direct fuel costs for hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, or wind energy.
