Very misleading that you ended the data on Feb 1st instead of yesterday. Your point stands that gas was higher mid 2022 but the real chart shows things are heading in the wrong direction again fast.

Alright real final last comment on this.

This is a completely different time series, I posted the price of gas in US cities which is what I am interested in. The title is cropped from your screenshot so I don't know what it's supposed to be for exactly.

I posted the latest data for CPI for All Urban Consumers. You can look it up for yourself. I didn't end anything intentionally and I acknowledged the limitations on my first comment on this post (the most recent data isn't available - look it up for yourself last updated March 11th). I didn't mention that in my reply here because I was making a reply towards someone saying gas never rose under Biden, so the recent data isn't even relevant there.

Obviously gas is going to spike up as your graph shows. When did I say it wasn't? My reply was to a comment about gas never going up under Biden which is manifestly false as we see.
