US families spent an average of nearly $3,000 on fuel last year

Does it feel like more of your paycheck is going to pay to fuel up your vehicle. According to the US Energy Information Administration, it is. Last year, the average US household paid $2,912 for gasoline, which represents almost four percent of the average household annual income. The government agency notes that this is the highest percentage of household income spent on fuel in almost 30 years (save 2008, when the numbers were similar).
