(5) When graphed, the unit of oil production and consumption in million tonnes is shown as Mtoe (million tonnes oil equivalent) to enable charting that combines different sources of primary energy.
(6) Inland demand plus international aviation and marine bunkers and refinery fuel and loss. Fuel ethanol and biodiesel consumption is also included.
