You really have to study the ERC formula carefully in order to understand how the prices are arrived at. It is not based on the "spot" prices of crude and USD. The work with the "weighted average" for the preceding 30-day period.
As I said here before; if we abandon the ERC formula, the price will jump to 150 the following day!
The idea behind the formula is NOT to keep the prices low; rather it is to keep them fair to all - consumers and dealers alike
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
