NA NA NA NA NA _____________________________________________________________________ NA = Not available. E = Estimated data. Includes on-highway diesel fuel only. 1 All end-user sales not included in the other end-user categories shown, e.g., sales to agricultural customers or utilities. Notes: The 4th quarter of 1993 was a transitional period between the predecessor EIA-782 survey system and the revised EIA-782 survey sytem. The revised survey system contains additional product and sales categories, which may not be consistent with categories derived from the predecessor survey system. Beginning January 1994 all data are from the revised survey system and are consistent. Notes: Data for the current month are initial estimates calculated using prior history of the series as well as present and past values of other related time series, such as spot prices and heating degree days. For an explanation of estimation methodology, see the Explanatory Notes. Notes: Values shown for the current two months are preliminary. Values shown for previous months are revised. Data are final upon publication in the Petroleum Marketing Annual.
