Don, i know. 'seasonal adjustments' transformed a 33% rise in gasoline prices between sample dates into a 1%+ rise. so what the heck are they measuring anyway??? note, when gasoline corrected in the last reporting period, the fall was recorded IN FULL by BLS. where were the 'seasonal adjustments' then? in short, their data are completely useless! how in heck can THIS be reported as a 0,5% DECLINE overall???? tfc-charts.w2d.com tfc-charts.w2d.com tfc-charts.w2d.com tfc-charts.w2d.com we could just as well throw darts or something.... regards, hb
