LONDON - Don’t look to this weekend’s meeting of G8 finance ministers to come up with a solution to runaway commodity prices and surging inflation. But don’t be surprised if there’s some tough, but limited, talk about the desirability of a stronger U.S. dollar, economists said.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Federal Reserve Governor Ben Bernanke says rising U.S. consumer prices can still be "consistent with continuing low inflation."

The good governor obviously hasn't pumped gas in San Francisco, where regular unleaded averages $2.15 a gallon, up 31 cents in three weeks. Consistency indeed.
