Question: what percent of total operating expenses was fuel in 2007?
Evidence:
table_2: millions of dollars the fuel of 2008 is 3983 ; the fuel of 2007 is 3104 ; the fuel of 2006 is 2968 ; the fuel of % ( % ) change 2008 v 2007 is 28 ; the fuel of % ( % ) change 2007 v 2006 is 5 ;
table_7: millions of dollars the total of 2008 is $ 13895 ; the total of 2007 is $ 12908 ; the total of 2006 is $ 12694 ; the total of % ( % ) change 2008 v 2007 is 8 % ( % ) ; the total of % ( % ) change 2007 v 2006 is 2% ( 2 % ) ;
