After some sizable gas price drops at the end of the year, pump prices are now holding steady throughout most of the state, according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch. The average regular unleaded gas price for Hawaii is $5.02, which is one cent lower than last Thursday. The average national price is $3.29, which is 13 cents higher than a week ago.

In Honolulu, today’s average price for regular unleaded is $4.97, which is the same as last week, 16 cents lower than last month, and 74 cents higher than the price on this date last year. The Hilo average gas price is $4.98, which also is the same as last week, eight cents lower than last month, and 65 cents higher than on this date a year ago.

In Kahului, the average price of $5.05 is two cents lower than last week, 21 cents lower than last month and 53 cents higher than a year ago. Lihue’s average price for regular is $5.41, which is one cent lower than last week, 12 cents lower than last month, and 78 cents higher than a year ago.

“This year began with some drops in oil prices due to lower demand from heavy winter storms throughout the U.S. and worldwide economic concerns,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “If that trend continues this month, Hawaii could see some additional gas price drops.”

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