GAS HIKE: IT COST'S UP $120 MORE PER DRIVER.

The jump in U.S. gasoline prices this year has so far drained consumers of an extra $20 billion, or about $146 for each passenger car in the country, the Government Accountability Office told Congress on Tuesday.
The national price for regular unleaded gasoline hit a record $3.22 a gallon this week, and is up $1.05 since the beginning of February, according to the Energy Department.
The added expense is taking money away from consumers to spend on other goods and services.
