“As far as I’m concerned the move from leaded to unleaded ruined gas mileage and increased the price dramatically “

LOL!

My 475 hp car gets 27 mpg on the highway compared to the low teens on regular cars back in the 60’s!

Adjusted for inflation, gas prices are about where they were in the 60’s.

Getting rid of lead in gas was a good move. It was low-hanging fruit for the EPA. But that was 40 years ago and they are now wildly out of control.

That is the same car made and driven in the 60’s when gas was $0.25 gal?
