How to calculate the polyethylene to gas oil ratio
Polyethylene to Gas Oil ratio = Polyethylene price per Metric Ton ÷ Gas Oil price per 100 Tonnes
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — 100 Tonness of gas oil per Metric Ton of polyethylene — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $7,856.00 ÷ $1,259.00 = 6.240. The inverse is 0.1603.
