Gas prices dropped in the last week in most local areas just before some spring break travel begins across the country, according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch. The average regular unleaded gas price for Hawaii is $4.86, which is two cents lower than last week. The average national price is $3.47, which is ten cents higher than last Thursday.

In Honolulu, today’s average price for regular unleaded is $4.77, which is three cents lower than last week, four cents lower than last month, and ten cents higher than the price on this date last year. The Hilo average gas price is $4.85, which is one cent lower than last week, three cents lower than last month, and four cents higher than on this date a year ago.

In Kahului, the average price of $4.90 is the same as last week, six cents lower than last month and five cents lower than a year ago. Lihue’s average price for regular is $5.28, which is two cents lower than last week, nine cents lower than last month, and 27 cents higher than a year ago.

“The California state average price took over from Hawaii in the past week as the most expensive in the country as their prices rose while Hawaii prices remained stable or declined,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “This time last year, gas prices were increasing by double digits each week due to the Russia-Ukraine war, but this year prices have been much more stable so far.”

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