BBC News: Inflation falls fatser than expected

CPI falls to 3.4% from 3.7% last month. RPI falls to 5.1% from 5.4% last month. The Office of National Statistics said the drop was helped by lower food prices, as well as slower rises in the price of petrol, alcohol and tobacco.

Of course the RPI 'Index' increased, as far as I am aware for the Index figure to DECREASE we would have to have deflation of RPI i.e Minus % RPI. For RPI to have stayed at 222.8, the same as the previous month, this would surely have meant 0% RPI ??
