The formula is only slightly more complex,

F = S [1 + (i - d) (t/360)]

My mis-read of the post was based on my impression that the author was speaking not of the front month but the "Z" contract of this year.

In fact, he was speaking of October and therefore the "Z" contract would have been the front and it's likely the 4 bucks was roughly accurate, I agree.
