      As used in this chapter, the phrase "fuel conversion price" means
    the price for an agricultural commodity determined by the Secretary
    of Agriculture that will permit gasoline-alcohol mixtures using
    alcohol produced from the commodity to be competitive in price with
    unleaded gasoline priced at the point it leaves the refinery,
    adjusted for differences in octane rating, taking into
    consideration the energy value of the commodity and other
    appropriate values designed to represent, on a national average
    basis, the value of byproducts also recoverable from the commodity;
    the direct costs and capital recovery costs for a grain alcohol
    distillery capable of producing forty million gallons of alcohol
    and recovering byproducts annually; and Federal tax and other
    Federal incentives applicable to alcohol used for fuel.
