Gridlock has a price, according to a new Treasury Department report.

The report said that the time spent stuck in traffic ends up costing $100 billion a year. Those dollars are spent on wasted fuel and lost time.

The report also found that car damage caused by rough roads costs drivers about $400 annually in repairs.
