"While Hawaii gas prices have eased slightly in recent weeks, they remain more than a dollar higher than this time last year and are still near record levels," said AAA Hawaii spokesperson Kandace Redd. "With summer travel season underway and more drivers expected to hit the road, motorists can help offset higher fuel costs by planning trips efficiently, avoiding aggressive driving, keeping tires properly inflated, and removing unnecessary weight from their vehicles. Combining errands into one trip and using the free AAA mobile app can also help drivers find the best prices and stretch their fuel budget further. Small changes in driving habits can add up to meaningful savings over the course of a busy summer."
