Editors Note: Weekend Gas Watch is being issued one day early due to the holiday.

As millions prepare to travel and gather together for the Thanksgiving holiday, Hawaii gas prices have remained mostly flat for the week, according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch.  The average price for Hawaii is $4.36, the same as last week. The average national price is $3.40, down a penny from last week.

In Honolulu, today’s average price for regular unleaded is $4.27, which is the same as a week ago, nine cents higher than a month ago, and $1.19 higher than the price on this date last year. The Hilo average gas price is $4.36, which has not changed for three weeks, is seven cents higher than last month, and 87 cents higher than on this date a year ago.

In Kahului, the average price is $4.50, which is up three cents compared to last week, 19 cents higher than last month, and 99 cents higher than on this date a year ago. Lihue’s average price for regular is $4.59, which is one cent higher compared to last week, eight cents higher than last month and 99 cents higher than a year ago today.

“Both the WTI and Brent crude benchmark oil prices have dropped since reaching a five-year high point a few weeks ago, but Brent crude, which is a better gauge for oil prices paid in Hawaii, has not dropped as much,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “Those who are driving over the Thanksgiving holiday should remember to maximize their fuel usage by properly inflating their tires and avoiding popular travel times such as this afternoon and evening.”
