GVTucker, re "After all, since crude is one of the major components, to a large extent you're adjusting the price of crude to compensate for increases in the price of crude."

If crude were the *only* component, the inflation-adusted price would be constant. The fact that it's not constant suggests to me the adjustment is meaningful.

Besides, the price inflator/deflator used may have excluded this major component.
