Consumer Inflation Up 0.4% in February

Consumer prices rose in February by the largest amount in seven months.  Clothing costs jumped the most in nearly two decades and two-thirds of last month's increase reflected a big jump in gasoline prices.

It appears as though the index wasn't as "muted" as it had been speculated: Consumer Prices up 0.3%, 2/20/09
