is there any mechanism that purposefully correlates gas fees on goerli with gas fees on the mainnet?

i noticed that gas fees on goerli almost always are between the gas fees on mainnet and double the gas fees on mainnet

mhm i think it's just coincidence

why would a system like that exists :o
seems pointless

to avoid situations like on polygon mumbai or arbitrum goerli where gas fees are almost always virtually zero. if you design a gas estimator, it's very hard to make sure that it still can reliably get txs through if you're testing on a network where gas fees hardly move at all

you don't use testnets to do simulations but you do network forks
you won't get 100% accuracy but it's indeed better then a testnet (as it's a different network)
