So, if it takes 40 dollars to FILL my gas tank each week and next year it takes $40.40 each week then I've lost 40 cents on the value of my transportation asset (the ability to travel 1 tank full of gas when all factors for said trip are considered same like MPG and driving conditions etc.) If the asset I exchange for gas is a share of stock that was worth $40 but next year will be worth $40.40, I can still buy the tank of gas with no loss.
