There is a difference between the real numbers and the official numbers due to the government discounting certain items from the counted. Over here they discount petrol and food. In winter they will discount home heating oil.

Also they do not discount the same items all the time so if somehing takes a sudden surge in price they will just ignore it.

Those items can surge sky high and the inflation rate will say a nice low figure.

Not counting food and fuel is like not really tracking inflation.
