The cost needs to be divided out on other things than just for energy, thats the point.

A barrel which costs $50 to produce will cost $50 to produce regardless of its use. There is no "dividing out" costs.

Of course there is as the cost goes to other things than for energy which is the comparison. Its not $20 per area oil can be used, its $20 divided out on all the things its used for.
