Definition

Spending on motor gasoline, including blended fuel ethanol, bought by all sectors, in millions of current US dollars. U.S. Energy Information Administration, State Energy Data System (series MGTCV).

Most is bought for transportation; small amounts used in the commercial and industrial sectors are included. Diesel is not included. Millions of current US dollars, not adjusted for inflation. An EIA State Energy Data System estimate: consumption of each fuel times its estimated price. Hydro, wind and solar power have no fuel cost and count only through the electricity they produce. The latest year is about 18 months old, and EIA revises earlier years with each release.
