  * = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is "1" then values under 0.5 are shown as "*".)
  NM = Not meaningful due to large relative standard error or excessive percentage change.  
  Notes: Beginning with the collection of Form EIA-923 in January 2008, the methodology to allocate total fuel consumption for electricity generation and consumption for useful thermal output was changed.  See the technical notes (Appendix C) for further information. See Glossary for definitions. Values for 2007 are final. Values for 2008 are preliminary estimates based on a sample.   - See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-906 and Form EIA-920. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Percent difference is calculated before rounding. Natural gas, including a small amount of supplemental gaseous fuels.
