Hawaii gas prices experienced little change this week in most areas, according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch. The statewide average price for regular unleaded is $4.81, which is one cent lower than last week. The national average gas price is $3.60, four cents less than last week.
In Honolulu, today’s average price for regular unleaded is $4.69, which is one cent lower last week, four cents higher than last month, and two cents higher than the price on this date last year. The Hilo average gas price is $4.91, which is the same as last week, three cents higher than last month, and 11 cents higher than a year ago.
In Kahului, the average price of $4.84 is six cents lower than last week, three cents higher than last month, and one cent lower than a year ago. Lihue’s average price for regular is $5.27, which is the same as last week, three cents higher than last month, and three cents higher than a year ago.
“Hawaii gas prices have stayed steady as most other states have experienced price declines,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “However, Hawaii gas prices in most areas are still more than 40 cents lower per gallon than the most expensive state for gas prices, California.”
