1. Ethanol blended into motor gasoline is included in both "Petroleum" and "Biomass," but is counted only once in total consumption.

2. Includes supplemental gaseous fuels.

3. Petroleum products supplied, including natural gas plant liquids and crude oil burned as fuel.

4. Biomass includes: biofuels, waste (landfill gas, MSW biogenic, and other biomass), wood, and wood derived fuels.
