A net drop, not a 40% increase. If you are going to deliberately ignore the massive rise in the cost of gasoline which happened back in 2010 or so, then I can't regard you as someone who is honest enough to debate with. Gas was something like +$4.00 in California back around that time.
The current drop is the result of fracking and Shale Oil production crashing the price of oil.
Gas went up. Stayed up for a long time. Has finally came back down, and now with the price of oil reaching historic lows in terms of inflation adjusted dollars, it has dipped below what it was seven years ago, you are trying to pass this off as proof that the inflation didn't happen?
If you are going to deliberately ignore the massive rise in the cost of gasoline which happened back in 2010Where did I do that? Your post compared 2007 to 2015. I found a source which showed both, and currently gas is lower than in 2007.

You brought up gas and the endpoints, I merely brought some data to the thread. Are you going to use the real data as proof inflation was 100%, or nearly so, from 2007-now?
