Description
Every single get_header value from relay.ethgas.com is inflated by `1.1e22`.
Not sure if this is something that is collected wrong or a relay issue but reporting it just in case.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the ClickHouse queries against the 2026-03-01 CSV and trace how get_header values from relay.ethgas.com are collected and represented. Compare the relay response with the stored values to determine whether the inflation is introduced by relayscan or the relay; done means the source is identified and the reported values are corrected or clearly documented.
