I think the point is that there's a significant (and unprecedented) drop in miles driven in the past year.

I'm not sure which one it'd be as I'm not quite sure what table would be most relevant. Consumption would be more relevant than production, as I'm not sure offhand what production means in terms of gasonline--if all that is produced here is used here it should be easy.
