b. The aggregate per gallon distribution percentage is the aggregate ethanol blended gasoline gallonage expressed as a percentage of the aggregate gasoline gallonage calculated for a twelve-month period beginning January 1 and ending December 31.

7. a. The aggregate biodiesel distribution percentage is the aggregate biodiesel gallonage expressed as a percentage of the aggregate diesel fuel gallonage calculated for a twelve-month period beginning January 1 and ending December 31.

b. The aggregate per gallon distribution percentage is the aggregate biodiesel blended fuel gallonage expressed as a percentage of the aggregate diesel fuel gallonage calculated for a twelve-month period beginning January 1 and ending December 31.

8. The aggregate biofuel distribution percentage is the sum of the aggregate ethanol gallonage plus the aggregate biodiesel gallonage expressed as a percentage of the sum of the aggregate gasoline gallonage plus the aggregate diesel fuel gallonage calculated for a twelve-month period beginning January 1 and ending December 31.
