In 1975vthings were different duhWell now I always think a full tank is best . Just like a bank account its better to have more then less in reserve for a emergency and thats why it was created
Unlike you I support America first .
Tell you what you go ahead and figure out how much gas you need to drive across the mojave and not have more then a pint extra.
Now do you get it ? Of course not your incapable of comprehending . There no way to predict the amount of fuel needed for war time operations , but our military is very dependent especially the navy.

One billion barrels
- Then- President Gerald Ford signed the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, or EPCA, in 1975, which declared U.S. policy to build a reserve of up to one billion barrels of petroleum. The oil in the reserve — currently about 600 million barrels — is housed in four salt caverns in Texas and Louisiana.
