Petrol prices fell by 4.1% last month
US consumer prices fell in August for the first time since April 2013, Labor Department figures show.
The Consumer Price Index declined 0.2% last month, following an increase of 0.1% in July.

Despite August's decrease, consumer prices are now 1.7% higher than they were a year ago.
