Note: All prices are delivered prices to steam electric plants. Prices paid for No. 6 fuel oil include prices paid for minor amounts of No. 4 and No. 5 fuel oil, crude and topped crude.\2\ Fuel oil prices are reported on FEA Form P302-M-1, ``Petroleum Industry Monthly Report for Product Prices.'' Natural Gas Prices are those paid by industrial customers of major interstate pipeline companies as reported on FPC Form No. 11, ``Natural Gas Pipeline Company Monthly Statement.''\3\ The price data for coal is the same as shown under FPC Form No. 423 price data.\4\ Mathematically the price difference ratio is P2_P1/P1; Where P2=the price of fuel oil or coal and P1=the price of natural gas. The ratio indicates the percent difference between natural gas and alternate fuel prices. For example in January 1980 electric utilities reported that in that month they paid 1.897 times more (189.7 percent) for No. 2 fuel oil than they paid for natural gas.As determined in Docket No. RM79-40 NOPR issued June 3, 1980, corrected for clerical/typographical error.
