...5 or 6 points sounds significant...

The VIX future has a multiplier of 10. Five points is the difference between eg 12.3 and 12.8, or $50/contract.>>

Multiplier of ten to VXB that is already 10 times VIX - so, it is 100 times ^VIX value or $500-$600 per contract (~ 5% at the low VIX levels that we see these days - I would hardly call this small!)

I posted the August values earlier - it was 133.x vs 128.
