From the article they linked to:

> But over the same period, the Consumer Price Index for new vehicles – so this is one of the many subcategories of CPI – has risen only 22%. In fact, it rose 22% from 1990 to 1997, and today is flat with where it had been in 1997.

So inflation only accounts for log(1.22)/log(1.77) = 37% of the price rise.
