   Less than last year's peak inflation of around 8%. Core CPI is down   
   year-to-year.

   Which CPI? Taking out volatile food and energy, prices are up .3% in   
   August. Looking at food and energy, food is up .2% so that leaves   
   energy, up 5.6%, leading the increase. Of course, energy is down   
   year-to-year, despite the recent Saudi actions to increase prices.
