Post From: Gasoil/Brent crack tick levels slightly off

Kind of wondering if Barchart is right and ICE might be wrong here (which would be weird). Here's their actual data:

https://www.theice.com/products/3545365/Low-Sulphur-Gasoil-Brent-Futures-Crack/data

but the spec says:

TRADING PRICE QUOTATION
One cent ($0.01) per barrel
SETTLEMENT PRICE QUOTATION
One cent ($0.01) per barrel
MINIMUM PRICE FLUCTUATION
One cent ($0.01) per barrel

For the December (Z) crack, my eSignal feed shows a last of 9.16, so they're following the exchange spec, Barchart's webpage shows 9.16, and ICE shows a last of 9.165. I have a feeling the exchange might be sending more precise data for this than what they actual advertise it should be, which is strange. (edit: removed IB reference because I can't verify what theirs is until the market reopens).

It's also a slightly different pricing formula than the other 1:1 cracks, as the exchange price is calculated as (GASOIL / 7.45 - BRENT) and I'm wondering if that's where some of this is coming from.
