On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers was unchanged in February. Over the last 12 months, the index increased 2.1 percent before seasonal adjustment.

The unchanged all items index was the result of a decline in the energy index being offset by slight increases in the indexes for food and for all items less food and energy.

Within the latter group, declines in the indexes for apparel and household furnishings and operations were more than offset by continuing increases in the indexes for medical care and used cars and trucks. The rising cost of fuels and used trucks will certainly affect how you operate your landscape business. ?EUR??,,????'?????<
