Mileage Reimbursement

I work at a large tech company that once COVID hit, our entire workforce of 200 in our satellite office went WFH. However, myself and 2 others were designated as essential and were forced to work in the office 3-5 days a week since march 2020.

It really bothers that me that 98% of the office was WFH, while I’m spending a ton of gas/maintenance of my vehicles when everyone else was not, and I was not being paid for this. Am I right to be upset over this? By my calculations, I would have gotten 3-4k if my mileage reimbursement continued from when it was cut march 2021 until now. I think I may quit over this and need someone to pull me off the ledge or push me over it to find a new gig. Am I wrong to be upset?
