- Indicator id: `energy_expenditure_usd_transportation`
- Unit: USD million
- Note: Fuel is assigned to the state where it is sold, not where it is burned, so states with large airports or ports show high values. 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.
