That's an increase of 149%.  Here is a chart showing the national average price of gasoline for the last 5 years.     $3.22 is NOT an increase of 149% over $2.17 - it's 67%. To double check. A 100% increase would be double or $4.34. Let's do math together. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kloehr Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 How to calculate inflation:  https://www.rocketmoney.com/learn/personal-finance/how-to-calculate-inflation-rate  Subtract an item’s original cost from its present cost. Divide the result by the original cost. Multiply by 100. So:  ((3.23-2.17)/2.17)*100=(1.06/2.17)*100=0.488*100=48.8% 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Ok....he STATED it incorrectly. Which doesn't change that 3.23 is 149% of 2.17. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kloehr Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 1.49 is the same effectively the same as 48.8%. I applied the given significant figure (3 vs 2) and expressed it as a percent. So 48.8% is 1.488 times the original price.  Even then, we are actually not at an inflation rate as we think of it. We think of inflation annually. So if something doubles in price over 6 months, and doubles again in another 6 months...  Well, neat data at:  https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_gas_price   Pick your dates and calculate your rate.
