 (a) Unaccounted for crude oil represents the difference between the supply and
disposition of crude oil. Refinery processing gain represents the volumetric
amount by which total output is greater than input for a given period of time.
 (b) Includes fuel ethanol blended into finished motor gasoline.
 (c) Includes products in the pentanes plus category only.
 (d) Includes pentanes plus, other liquids, and all finished petroleum products
except finished motor gasoline, distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, jet
fuel, and liquefied petroleum gases.
 (e) Crude oil stocks in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve include non-U.S.
stocks held under foreign or commercial storage agreements.
 (s) = Less than 500 barrels per day.

 Note: Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
       A negative number indicates an increase in stocks and a positive number
       indicates a decrease in stocks.
