Why is there such a difference between highway and around town miles per gallon?

If I’m doing errands around town my car’s average mpg is about 17 or 18. It rises to about 22–24 if I am doing highway driving. I know this kind of difference is standard but am wondering why. Is it the frequent stopping and starting or breaking that causes such a drain on your gas consumption?
