Because inflation numbers can be skewed as well, so why not compare it to a figure like how much you can get for an hour of work? and other peoples wages tend to be based off minimum wage as well so I thought I would put that out there as another reference point, partly because a while back someone pointed out that the amount of energy that the average person uses every day is 100 times more then a single person can put out, a quarter HP or around 200 watts, so I think it's really reasonable to put fuel in to a term of how much you have to work to get it because in turn it does work for you.
