Notes: Beginning with the reporting of 1996 annual data, EIA changed the customer category used for reporting deliveries to consumers in the agricultural industry from commercial to industrial. Totals may not equal the sum of the components due to independent rounding, and totals from one table to the next may not be equivalent.
