FILE - A driver delivers 8,500 gallons of gasoline at an ARCO gas station in Riverside, Calif., Saturday, May 28, 2022. WASHINGTON — — A sign that the painful inflation of the past 18 months may be gradually easing could come Tuesday, when the government is expected to report that the acceleration in U.S. prices slowed in August compared with a year agoEconomists have forecast that the report will show that prices jumped 8.1% from 12 months earlier, down from a four-decade high of 9.
The average cost of a gallon of gas fell to $3.72 nationwide on Monday, down from just above $5 in mid-June. And many businesses are reporting signs that supply backlogs and inflation are beginning to fade. “We would expect there to be some flattening out of inflation in the back half of the year,” Gary Millerchip, Kroger's chief financial officer, told investors last week.
