Yes, I believe it was from $0.19 up to $0.44/gallon. A large increase, but still far less than $1000 for just about every driver on the road. Even taking into account the entirety of the fuel tax that EV's avoid would mean a gas vehicle owner would need to purchase 2272 gallons to be considered equal.
2272(G) x 25(mpg) = 56,800 miles/year......
