ild, I commented on that in my post. I use WTI as the headline number (since that is what everyone hears), but I pointed out that when I talk about $60 oil, I'm talking about the average price.

"NOTE: These prices for oil are the average contract price paid for various grades of oil. This average is usually $5 to $10 below the spot price of WTI."

The reason the average price appears even lower on your graph is that it trails WTI price changes. If WTI would stay steady for 6 months, the average price would be about $5 to $10 below the WTI price.

Best Regards!
