Sam, I think accounting for cost of financing (for items that are normally financed) is proper. Anyway, if financing cost rises quickly (with higher rates) then the actual cost to consumers will be captured quickly. So there is nothing smelly or fishy here. Just that one shouldn't be surprised when CPI climbs quickly. Especially with rising price of transportation fuel.
