fuel_cost_per_kwh was erroneously being divided by time_steps_per_hour which is 2 for 30-minute interval and 4 for 15-minute interval loads. The fuel used/consumed calculation already accounts for time_steps_per_hour to get the correct energy used in each timestep, so we need the actual (input) fuel_cost_per_kwh to be preserved to multiply that with fuel used.
This PR avoids dividing fuel cost value by time_steps_per_hour.
