The only inflation that matters to me is relative to the things I spend money on and the % of my budget that goes to that line item. There is also the consideration that when the price of a given thing raises too much for the value I get from it, I will stop buying it.
That basically means that any generic inflation tracking measurement is minimally useful to me. What is useful is tracking the prices of my critical and large line items over time.
