Expect fuel prices to trend up after the recession bottom.
You're preaching to the choir, yet here we are, many years of mostly stable prices. That can always change, and recently has, but predictions are always difficult, especially about the future.

I'm expecting a recession, which I would also imagine would tend to curb abnormal inflation.

Something approximating equilibrium is the natural state of the world in which we live. Generally I expect to exist somewhere within the normal variance of that equilibrium.

Lies are always repaid with interest, but I'm hoping ours was benign enough that we can pay and continue on. Time will tell.
