NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Filling up the gas tank is taking an economic toll on three-quarters of American households, the highest level in more than two years, according to a poll released Friday.

In telephone interviews conducted July 27-29, 75 percent of 527 respondents told CNN/Opinion Research that high gas prices are causing financial hardship for them or their households.

That was up from 60 percent saying gas prices were causing hardship in late April and 69 percent in April 2006.

The poll had a sampling error of 4.5 percent.
