“Demand for fuel remains strong as summer road trips are in full swing,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “The good news for many drivers is that they’re saving a little at the pump this week. However, with rising crude oil prices and strong demand for fuel, price fluctuations remain possible .”
