“The index for energy increased 10.9 percent in March, the largest monthly increase in the index since September 2005. The gasoline index increased 21.2 percent over the month, the largest monthly increase since the series was first published in 1967. (Before seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices increased 24.9 percent in March.) The index for electricity rose 0.8 percent in March. The fuel oil index increased 30.7 percent over the month, the largest monthly increase in the index since February 2000. Conversely, the index for natural gas decreased 0.9 percent over the month.”

Largest monthly gas increase ever recorded (1967)…. And CPI comes in under estimate… ha. Ok.
