Gas prices peaked in 1981 (see link) and my 1979 GMC got 10mpg tops. Currently my 1994 GMC gets 16 to 17mpg on the highway, 13 in town. So compared to 1981 gas is up less than 20% and my mileage is up about 60%.

Halting the filling of the reserves is an election year gimmick and won’t do anything real for consumers.
