A new study released by Gas Buddy shows that Americans across all age groups and income brackets say that gasoline is a more important household budget consideration than healthcare and emergency savings.
Nearly 65% say that gas prices impact their ability to spend money on other household items or services.
This impact is especially felt by young people age 18-24.

Gas-powered vehicles are the most used method of transportation and the most used method of paying for gas is debit cards, followed by credit cards and cash.
