The consumer price index rose by 0.6 per cent over one month and by 5.1 per cent over one year. Since the start of the year the increase stands at 4.3 per cent, while the harmonised index is at 5.0 per cent year on year. Transport set the pace with 5.5 per cent in a single month: diesel fuel became 13.5 per cent dearer, A95 petrol 4.0 per cent. Clothing and footwear fell by 2.0 per cent and healthcare by 0.4 per cent. For owners on the coast the transport and energy component matters most, because it feeds through running costs and tradesmen&apos;s rates into their own accounts.</summary>
