diesel oil used

gasoline is unknown, the amount is calculated from the

gasoline purchase cost and the domestic national

average unit price as published in a survey of gas station

retail prices conducted by Japan's Agency for Natural

Resources and Energy.

Overseas

In principle, the amount used is calculated from gasoline

purchase costs and unit price by country as published by

JETRO. When the cost of gasoline is unknown, it is
