Stock changes are calculated using new basis stock levels. Notes: Liquefied petroleum gases includes ethane/ethylene, propane/propylene, normal butane/butylene, and isobutane/isobutylene. Beginning in January 1984, unfractionated stream is reported by individual product. Geographic coverage is the 50 States and the District of Columbia. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
