1. These estimates are of the total amount of petrol and diesel consumed by vehicles travelling in each Council area ( i.e. the estimates are based on where the vehicles were driven, rather than - say - the area of the registered keepers of the vehicles). The total differs markedly from table 6.10's total figure for petrol and diesel deliveries in Scotland, for reasons given in paragraph 2.17.
2. There have been major revisions to the data due to improvements in the methodology. For more information please see here: http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/statistics/regional/road_transport/road_transport.aspx
There is a problem
