Motor Gasoline Consumption
in Nebraska

In 2021, annual gasoline consumption of 121,235,531 gallons was 2.7 percent lower than the 124,627,390 gallons consumed in 2020 as shown in the data table below.

In Figure 1, it can be seen that monthly consumption in December of 2021 was far above the five–year average, last year's consumption, and the five–year range.

The reports on ethanol–blended fuel consumption, the total of motor gasoline consumption and ethanol–blended fuel consumption, and reported miles traveled during the driving season have additional information in relation to motor gasoline consumption.

Note: The motor gasoline data in this report includes the three grades of gasoline (regular unleaded, midgrade, and premium) but does not include the gallons of gasoline blended with ethanol.
