Lately I've been making a conscious effort to flip my coordinate system around on inflation. Instead of tracking cost increases of fuel, I try to conceptualize prices for all things in equivalent fuel or metered energy. The fed can overlook energy and food in their "preferred metric of inflation", but that's 90% of what I care about as an individual. Very interesting to track your purchasing power in MWh
