(CNSNews.com) – Average retail gasoline prices have more than doubled under
President Obama, according to government statistics, rising from $1.84 per
gallon to $3.85 per gallon.
The average gasoline price is calculated by the Energy Information Agency,
and shows that over the past 43 months of President Obama’s term retail
gasoline prices have more than doubled, rising from an average of $1.84 per
gallon to $3.85 per gallon.
Rising gasoline prices were particularly prevalent in August, which saw a 9.
0 percent rise in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for gasoline, a rise that
almost entirely accounts for the general increase in prices seen by families
across the country over the past month.
In other words, the recent spike in prices for all goods – tracked by the
government’s Consumer Price Index – can be almost entirely accounted for
by the rise in gasoline prices. Prices in the economy rose by 0.6 percent
overall in August.
“The seasonally adjusted increase in the all items index was the largest
since June 2009. About 80 percent of the increase was accounted for by the
gasoline index, which rose 9.0 percent and was the major factor in the
energy index rising sharply in August after declining in each of the four
previous months,” the Bureau of Labor Statistics said in a press release
announcing the new CPI figures for August.
Over the past twelve months, general prices have risen 1.7 percent, BLS
reported.
CPI is a measure of the average change in prices for goods and services in
the economy seen by consumers – making it the leading indicator of the
inflation experienced directly by consumers throughout the country. | b****y
