Yesterday, the price of diesel fuel here in Eureka, NV went from $3.82 to $4.12.

And two months ago, the price of diesel was $3.42.

This is one of the reasons why I no longer believe government economic stats. They’re simply full of crap. You can drive all over the country and you see fuel prices going up. You can go into any grocery market in the US and see prices going up.

So when we see these stats come out, and they so completely fail to reflect day-to-day reality, it is pretty clear that the government bureaucrats need to be fired and the computation of the CPI turned over to the private sector.

I was trying to find where the markets supported their figures, especially in the energy index for Febuary. What do you think?
