P = preliminary data.
Notes: Asphalt and lubricants are as reported in EIA's State Energy Data Report 1996, DOE/EIA-0214(96) (Washington, DC, February 1999) for 1990-1996, and Monthly Energy Review, DOE/EIA-0035(99/09) (Washington, DC, September 1999) for 1997 and 1998. Some slight differences exist between this table and the Annual Energy Review. Data in this table are revised from the data contained in the previous EIA report, Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States 1997, DOE/EIA-0573(97) (Washington, DC, October 1998).
