Island gas prices moved down from last week and a four percent lower compared to one year ago according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch. The average regular unleaded gas price for Hawaii is $4.62, which is two cents lower than last week. The average national price is $3.22, which is two cents lower than last Thursday.

In Honolulu, today’s average price for regular unleaded is $4.48 which is two cents lower than last week, three cents lower than last month, and 22 cents lower than the price on this date last year. The Hilo average gas price is $4.81, which is three cents lower than last week, one cent lower than last month, and 13 cents lower than on this date a year ago.

In Kahului, the average price of $4.69 is one cent lower than last week, two cents higher than last month, and 13 cents lower than a year ago. Lihue’s average price for regular is $5.26, which is one cent lower than last week, the same as last month, and five cents lower than a year ago.

“As fall road trip season approaches, travelers are benefiting from significantly lower gas prices compared to last year,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “Since late July, fuel costs have steadily declined due to a relatively calm Atlantic hurricane season and because many gas stations are transitioning to winter-blend gasoline, which is less expensive to produce. This combination offers relief to those hitting the road this autumn.”

AAA members can take advantage of discounted gas prices at participating Shell gas stations by joining the Shell Fuel Rewards® program.
