Diesel Fuel Consumption
Diesel fuel's monthly consumption in February of 2026 was above February 2025's (last year's) consumption, at the upper boundary of the five–year range, and above the five–year average consumption. (Figure 1)
As for annual consumption, it can be seen in Figure 2 that diesel fuel consumption in 2025 was a slight decrease over 2024's consumption.
Indicator
An indicator to support high or low consumption of diesel fuel is reported in miles traveled. From month to month, the difference in miles traveled can be large. From year to year, the number of miles traveled indicate very little difference although there are small increases that add up when looking at the miles traveled ten years and twenty years ago. A drawback to the miles–traveled data is that the data for passenger cars, recreational vehicles, and diesel trucks are not separated.
