根据美国联合经济委员会民主党少数派的最新估算，自伊朗战争爆发以来，美国车主已额外多支付了84亿美元的燃油费用。
议员们的计算依据是美国汽车协会（AAA）追踪的2月28日至3月31日期间的日均汽油价格——2月28日正是美国和以色列空袭伊朗的当日。这一数据还参考了汽车研究机构埃德蒙兹（Edmunds）关于美国畅销燃油汽车油箱容量的信息，以及美国联邦公路管理局和能源信息署的联邦燃油消耗数据。
根据AAA的数据，美国全国平均汽油价格在周三升至每加仑4.06美元，此前一天的价格首次突破4美元，为2022年以来首次。
分析显示，驾驶丰田RAV4的车主现在加满一箱油需花费58.26美元，较战争爆发前增加了15.02美元，涨幅达35%。福特F-150皮卡加满油的成本为144.65美元，增加了37.29美元；而丰田凯美瑞轿车车主加满一箱油需花费52.23美元，比上月冲突爆发前多花13.46美元。
尽管3月油价上涨，但信用卡数据显示消费者仍在继续消费，这表明截至目前美国家庭正在承受燃油成本上涨带来的经济冲击，美国海军联邦信用合作社称。
但3月31日发布的世界大型企业联合会消费者信心指数显示，计划在未来六个月购买大件商品的美国人有所减少，这一迹象表明部分家庭可能已经感受到燃油成本上涨的影响。
“压力开始显现，尤其是在全国汽油价格达到每加仑4美元之际，”海军联邦信用合作社首席经济学家希瑟·朗在一封电子邮件中说道。“随着通胀冲击最严重的阶段影响消费者，第二季度的消费和GDP增长几乎肯定会放缓。”
白宫并未立即回应置评请求。
特朗普政府称，近期油价飙升是暂时的，伊朗战争结束后燃油成本将回落。
“‘史诗之怒行动’结束后，汽油价格将暴跌回美国车主在这些短期中断前享有的多年低位，”白宫发言人卡罗琳·莱维特周二在发给CBS News的电子邮件中说道。
哥伦比亚广播公司近期对3335名成年人进行的一项民调发现，油价上涨加剧了人们对美国经济的担忧。
根据LendingTree的一项新研究，约三分之一的美国人正在改变消费或储蓄习惯以应对更高的油价，另有35%的人表示，如果燃油成本持续高企，他们计划调整预算。
得克萨斯州和加利福尼亚州的居民面临的燃油成本涨幅最大，这两个州人口众多且驾驶员数量庞大。联合经济委员会少数派的报告估算，自2月28日以来，得克萨斯州居民已额外多支付10.4亿美元的燃油费用，加利福尼亚州居民则多支付了9.7亿美元。
分析称，其他燃油成本涨幅显著的州包括佛罗里达州，额外增加的汽油支出达6.84亿美元，以及北卡罗来纳州，额外支出3.61亿美元。

Higher gas prices have cost U.S. drivers an additional $8.4 billion, Democrats say
April 2, 2026 / 7:25 AM EDT / CBS News
American drivers have paid an additional $8.4 billion in fuel costs since the Iran war started, according to a new estimate from the Joint Economic Committee’s Democratic minority.
The lawmakers’ calculation is based on daily average gasoline prices as tracked by AAA between Feb. 28, when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, through March 31. The figure also draws on information from auto researcher Edmunds on the tank sizes of top-selling gas vehicles in the U.S. and on federal fuel consumption data from the Federal Highway Administration and Energy Information Administration.
The average cost of gas across the U.S. rose to $4.06 a gallon on Wednesday after topping $4 the previous day for the first time since 2022, according to AAA data.
Drivers of Toyota RAV4s now spend $58.26 to fill up their tanks, an increase of $15.02, or 35%, from before the war, the analysis finds. A Ford F-150 pickup truck costs $144.65 to fill up, an increase of $37.29, while Toyota Camry sedan owners are spending $52.23 to fill their tank, or $13.46 more than before the conflict started last month.
Despite higher gas prices in March, credit card data shows consumers are continuing to spend, suggesting households so far are weathering the financial impact of higher fuel costs, according to Navy Federal Credit Union.
But the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, released on March 31, shows fewer Americans are planning big-ticket purchases over the next six months, a sign some households could be feeling the effects of higher fuel costs.
“The strain is starting to show, especially as gas hits $4 a gallon nationwide,” said Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, in an email. “It’s almost certainly going to be a muted second quarter for spending and GDP growth as the worst of the inflation shock hits consumers.”
The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Trump administration has said that the recent spike in gas prices is temporary and that fuel costs will subside when the Iran war ends.
“When Operation Epic Fury is complete, gas prices will plummet back to the multi-year lows American drivers enjoyed before these short-term disruptions,” White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told CBS News in an email on Tuesday.
A recent CBS News poll of 3,335 adults found that rising gas prices are heightening concerns about the U.S. economy.
About one-third of Americans are making changes to their spending or savings habits to cope with higher gas prices, while another 35% said they plan to adjust their budgets if fuel costs remain elevated, according to a new LendingTree study.
Texas and California residents have faced the sharpest increase in gas costs due to their large populations and number of drivers. Texans have paid an additional $1.04 billion in fuel costs since Feb. 28, while Californians have paid an extra $970 million at the pump over the same time, the JEC Minority report estimates.
Other states with significant increases include Florida, with $684 million in extra gas costs, and North Carolina, with an extra $361 million in spending, the analysis said.
