Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing

By far the major product of this industry is the gasoline fraction from petroleum. Fig. 7.2 demonstrates this, since U.S. shipments of gasoline were down in 1986 as well. Gasoline in Fig. 7.2 follows a curve similar to Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing in Fig. 7.1. Other products such as Jet fuel, kerosene, and fuel oils contribute substantially less to the total value of petroleum.
