California diesel use increases
October 25, 2010
California's Board of Equalization has released the state's gasoline and fuel consumption numbers for June and the second quarter of 2010, and the numbers show diesel consumption is up 12.4 percent or 27.7 million gallons. If the state accounts for refunded gallons of 18.4 million gallons, the increase is still at 3.8 percent. For the second quarter of 2010, Californians used 661 million gallons of diesel, up from 653 the same time last year. In June alone, diesel sold in the state equaled 251 million gallons, compared to 224 million gallons the same time a year ago. To monitor the fuel consumption and sales numbers, the BOE uses tax receipts paid by fuel distributors.
