“My household inflation rate is more like 15-20%. Utilities are the latest thing to skyrocket. Gas, electric, water, all way up. 3.1% is a fantasy.”
Gas is down year-over-year. Where you come up with 15-20% for aggregate household expenses is beyond me.
Gas and Food are not included in core inflation, this is by design...so they can make such outrageous claims
That’s my household gas bill. House runs on natural gas. Not gasoline. That’s why I said Utilities.
And groceries, restaurants, fast food are way up also in my area.
Gasoline, by the way, is stuck at an average of $4.59 a gallon.
> Gas is down year-over-year.
Great if one puts lots of miles on their ride, but not so much for those of us who don’t.
