*Yes, I am my father's daughter; I keep track of mileage, fill-ups, and maintenance in a little book in the glove compartment.

The #Consumer Price Index rose 3.8% in April from a year earlier, the Labor Dept reported Tuesday, up from a 2.4% annual increase before the conflict started in February & a 3.3% increase in March.

The increase was driven largely by #energy prices, up 3.8% since the previous month. Stripping out volatile food & energy prices, the index rose 2.8% in April.
