Gas prices remained mainly stable throughout the state this past week, according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch. The average regular unleaded gas price for Hawaii is $5.21, which remained the same as last week. The average national price is $3.80, which is two cents higher than a week ago.

In Honolulu, today’s average price for regular unleaded is $5.18, one cent higher than last week, the same price as a month ago and 92 cents higher than the price on this date last year. The Hilo average gas price is $5.05, which is two weeks lower than last week, four cents lower than last month, and 69 cents higher than on this date a year ago.

In Kahului, the average price of $5.27, two cents lower than last week, three cents lower than last month and 82 cents higher than a year ago. Lihue’s average price for regular is $5.54, which is two cents higher than last week, three cents lower than last month, and 97 cents higher than a year ago.

“We are two weeks away from Thanksgiving, one of the busiest holidays for road trips, and also refineries’ focus has shifted to diesel, so that could affect local pump prices,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “Hawaii is still the second-most expensive state for gasoline behind California, where today’s state average is $5.46.”

AAA Hawaii reminds drivers they can save money on gasoline by shopping around virtually using a tool like the AAA Mobile app, which shows users the cheapest gas prices near them. AAA members can also take advantage of discounted gas prices at participating Shell gas stations by joining the Shell Fuel Rewards® program.
