Do you know how many providers of bread, milk, and eggs there are in the US alone? They're not directly comparable.
I understand and you are right they aren't, but raises in fuel get passed along the chain and if fuel increased by 300% due to inflationary value then milk and eggs (as example) would also be 300% higher or at least double. Instead those items have only felt a 50% at the highest increase.
what I am saying is his logic and reasoning is bullshit because if it were inflation more than gas would have jumped.
