Inflation is defined as the loss of purchasing power, if A goes up, you get inflation unless B goes down to offset it. I've never heard of Walmart or landowners lowering prices or rents just because the price of gasoline goes up. If $30 extra a month for gasoline is easy to pay for those of us who make up the majority of the economy, then higher gas price is inflationary. I posted graphs on my site that showed CPI AND core CPI followed energy prices almost perfectly. Unfortunately, the site is having problems but ask me in a week or two and maybe it will be fixed.
