Energy Prices in Nebraska's Transportation Sector |
|
The transportation sector consists of private and public vehicles that move people and commodities. Included are automobiles, trucks, buses, motorcycles, railroads, aircraft, ships, barges, and natural gas pipelines. Natural gas use reflects the fuel needed to move natural gas through a pipeline to end users in the residential, commercial, industrial, and electric power sectors. Using an equivalent measure of million British thermal units (Btu), the graph below compares the prices of fuel. The prices are also in nominal dollars to provide a better comparison. In 2005, lubricants had the highest price of $38.52 per million Btu. Propane was $23.21, aviation gasoline was $18.56, motor gasoline was $17.51, diesel fuel was $16.87, jet fuel was $13.19, and natural gas was $8.47. In 2005, if there was any coal, electricity, or residual fuel consumption in the transportation sector, the amount was small enough to round to zero, and a price was not reported. The Energy Information Administration does not track the prices for ethanol, and there are no direct fuel costs for hydroelectric, geothermal, wind, photovoltaic, or solar thermal energy, so no prices are reported for these fuels. |
