Adjust transportation services prices for inflation

Start with the inflation rate formula:

CPI in 2000 / CPI in 1999 * 1999 USD value = 2000 USD value

Then plug in historical CPI values from above. The CPI for Transportation services was 190.669 in the year 1999 and 196.092 in 2000:

196.092 / 190.669 * $1 = $1.03

Therefore, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, $1 in 1999 has the same "purchasing power" as $1.03 in 2000 (in the CPI category of Transportation services).
