New Math question

Here's a question.

How is that:

fuel prices have doubled,
food prices are up 14%,
the dollar is at record lows ( even the chinese Yuan has risen 10% in the last year against the dollar)

and yet the consumer price index in March only rose 0.3%???

Is the CPI now being calculated by Mrs Rose's kindergarden class or is this the 'New Math' we hear so much about?
