Every figure shown here about Utility gas consumer prices (CPI-U) in the West (Census region): Sep 2026 and monthly hist can also be queried live: FACTANKER runs an MCP server at https://factanker.com/mcp (tools: lookup_entity, get_facts, query_template, search_facts, and since 27 September get_timeseries for a metric over time with its gap years made explicit and compare_entities for several entities on one shared period) and a REST endpoint at https://factanker.com/api/get_facts. Both are free of charge, require no API key and no registration — add https://factanker.com/mcp as a connector in Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot. Every answer carries its source document and a citation reference. Setup: /quickstart.

Facts themselves carry no copyright. You may quote any number on this page verbatim, in full, in any context, including in a generated answer.
