How to use these signals
These are different measures on different schedules. CPI is a consumer basket, pay is a whole-economy weekly level, and pump prices are direct road-fuel observations. They should not be combined into a synthetic company cost score.
Use each series only where the business model has the matching exposure—for example, payroll intensity, delivery mileage, field-service fleets or consumer-price sensitivity.
