Ah, yes the cherry-picking of data game.
Fine, I'll play: petrol prices have fallen by 20% over the past 2 years and are unchanged from where they were a decade ago (that's in nominal terms, mind; in real terms they are at two-thirds of the level where they were a decade ago).

As for cherry picking of data - you are generally pedantic about accuracy.
