Gas prices declined slightly or significantly in some areas, but increased slightly in others over the past week, according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch. The average regular unleaded gas price for Hawaii is $5.26, which is a penny less than last week. The average national price is $3.68, which is down two cents from a week ago.

In Honolulu, today’s average price for regular unleaded is $5.17, which is one cent lower than last week, six cents lower than a month ago, and $1.18 higher than the price on this date last year. The Hilo average gas price is $5.13, which is six cents lower than last week, 17 cents lower than last month, and 99 cents higher than on this date a year ago.

In Kahului, the average price of $5.45 is three cents higher than last week, one cent lower than last month and $1.34 higher than a year ago. Lihue’s average price for regular is $5.61, which is one cent lower than last week, seven cents lower than last month, and $1.30 higher than a year ago.

“Crude oil prices have continued to drop, but across the U.S. gas prices have largely stopped dropping after declining most of the summer,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “It’s hard to say which direction they head next locally because there is no clear trend now.”

AAA Hawaii reminds drivers they can save money on gasoline by shopping around virtually using a tool like the AAA Mobile app, which shows users the cheapest gas prices near them. AAA members can also take advantage of discounted gas prices at participating Shell gas stations by joining the Shell Fuel Rewards® program.
