How is fuel used the most?<\/h2>\n

There are many types of fuel used for different things throughout the United States. Here, we will go over some of the main types used and the industries that rely on them most.<\/p>\n

  1. Gasoline:<\/strong> Also known as finished motor gasoline, this type of fuel is the most commonly used in the country. In 2018, 9.329 million barrels were used every day. The transportation industry is most known for using gasoline. Specifically, cars, SUVs, and small trucks use the majority of this fuel.<\/li>\n
  2. Distillate fuel oils (diesel and heating oil):<\/strong> Diesel is also used in the transportation industry by heavy duty equipment, trucks, boats, and other vehicles. Industries that rely on diesel the most include construction, agriculture, and even the military sector. Heating oil is most used in boilers in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors for heating buildings.<\/li>\n
  3. Hydrocarbon gas liquids (HGL):<\/strong> These fuel products include propane, butane, and ethane and are most used in the petrochemical industry. By itself, propane is used for a variety of purposes including heating, cooking, and even as a transportation fuel.<\/li>\n
  4. Jet fuel:<\/strong> This type of fuel is the fourth most commonly used petroleum product in the United States. As the name implies, the aviation industry uses the most of this fuel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
