Primary Energy, Total, and Total Energy. The average price for the
“Primary Energy, Total”  is the sum of the four end-use sectors’
and the electric power sector’s expenditures for coal, natural gas,
petroleum, and other fuels divided by the sum of the five sectors’ consumption
of those fuels. The distinction between this average price and
the “Total Energy” average price shown in the same table is that this
price includes all fossil and other fuels consumed, including those used
to generate electricity. The “Total Energy” price is the average price of
fuels consumed directly as energy by the four end-use sectors and the
much higher price of the four sectors’ electricity consumption.
