Hawaii’s gas prices are still the highest in the U.S., but now have been dropping in most areas for four of the past six weeks, according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch. The average regular unleaded gas price for Hawaii is $4.94, which is three cents lower than last Thursday. The average national price is $3.50, which is 12 cents higher than a week ago.

In Honolulu, today’s average price for regular unleaded is $4.87, which is four cents lower than last week, 12 cents lower than last month, and 59 cents higher than the price on this date last year. The Hilo average gas price is $4.93, which is two cents lower than last week, seven cents lower than last month, and 56 cents higher than on this date a year ago.

In Kahului, the average price of $4.95 is two cents lower than last week, 15 cents lower than last month and 43 cents higher than a year ago. Lihue’s average price for regular is $5.38, which is three cents lower than last week, seven cents lower than last month, and 72 cents higher than a year ago.

“Today’s statewide average price is 42 cents higher per gallon than the second most-expensive state, California,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “However, the cheapest gas prices for both Hawaii and California are near $4 to $4.30 a gallon, so make sure to shop around using a tool like the free AAA Mobile app so you are not overpaying for gasoline.”

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