Is there a way to calculate exactly how much this affects the every day person? Specifically what I'm looking for is a table breaking down the costs by category.
For example - I don't really drive that much on a day to day basis compared to the average American, and so if it's a huge 50% increase in gas prices yoy, that over indexes the inflation number for me because I might drive 80% less than the average American. So I would assume that inflation is really <7.9% for me.
