  1 Includes low-sulfur diesel fuel only.
  2 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.
