Transportation CPI Rises 0.3% in October: Gasoline Up 1.0%, Used Vehicles Down 1.2%
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) released the October Transportation Consumer Price Index on November 10: prices for all transportation goods and services rose 0.3 percent from September to October 2026. The year-over-year change could not be measured because October 2025 data were unavailable.
By component, used vehicles fell 1.2 percent and new vehicles rose 0.2 percent. Gasoline rose 1.0 percent, other motor fuels 2.7 percent, motor vehicle parts and equipment 0.2 percent, maintenance and repair 0.6 percent, and motor vehicle insurance 0.7 percent. Airline fares rose 0.4 percent, and intercity bus, rail and ship fares rose 1.4 percent.
