no inflation? I paid $4.00/gal this morning for gas when just 4 years ago it was $1.80/gal

looks like more then 100% increase in 4 years... annual inflation around 25% ?

No, gasoline (and food, for that matter) are not counted in the CPI, as they are WAY TOO VOLATILE.

So celebrate our “low” inflation...at least if you don’t buy gasoline or eat.
