| Monthly figures are available in the 2.1.3 tab | |||||||||||||||||
| Note 1. Aggregate of individual solid fuels, gas, electricity and liquid fuels indices. | |||||||||||||||||
| Note 2. ULSP, ULSD & motor oil. Other fuels are as defined by ONS. See the Methodology tab for further details. | |||||||||||||||||
| Note 3. ONS update the GDP Deflator on a regular basis. As such the real terms price indices are subject to regular revisions to the whole series. | |||||||||||||||||
| Freeze panes are turned on. To turn off freeze panes select the 'View' ribbon then 'Freeze Panes' then 'Unfreeze Panes' or use [Alt,W,F]. | |||||||||||||||||
