Abstract: . . . reported by the DOT in the above publication. Regional distributions were based on gasohol sales published by State. Although the DOT publishes the only State-level estimates of ethanol consumption, there are known deficiencies in the data, which are based on State tax records. Energy Information Administration The EIA ethanol consumption values up to 1990 were taken from Estimates of U.S. Biofuels Consumption 1990. The 1992 ethanol consumption figure was derived from ethanol production, change in stocks, and net imports, as reported on Form EIA-819M, “Monthly Oxygenate Telephone Report.” Specifically, 1992 consumption was estimated as the sum of production and net imports less the change in stocks. The regional distribution was based on gasohol . . . . . . EIA may be trashed or buried, burned in the residential sector, or become industrial scrappage. Ethanol Fuel ethanol consumption data have been estimated from data collected by the EIA, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF), the Bureau of the Census, and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
