D. "Temperature corrected gallon of motor fuel" means a volumetric gallon of 231 cubic inches adjusted to the measurement of a gallon at 60(F as determined by API/ASTM-IP Petroleum Measurement Table, "Table 6B".

E. Natural Gas. In order to determine the quantity of liquid or compressed natural gas consumed, the following formulas will be used:

(1) Liquefied natural gas: 100 cubic feet at 14.73 psi and 60(F shall be considered as 1 gallon of liquid motor fuel;

F. Liquid Propane Gas. To determine the quantity of liquid propane gas consumed, the following formula will be used:

(1) If product is gauged in decitherms, divide by 9.1 to convert to gallons;

(2) If product is gauged in pounds, divide by 4.24 to convert to gallons (To convert decitherms to pounds, multiply by .465).
