Yup beef is way up. Meanwhile, it costs dramatically less to fill a gas tank. Inflation of course is measured as a general trend, not as the price of a single item of goods or services. And on that measure, inflation is unusually mild for now.
You're naive if you think gas is staying at $2.00.
I expect that the price of gas — like all prices — will fluctuate. In the meanwhile, lower gas prices contribute to the current minimal rate of inflation.
