The Hilo average gas price is $4.76, which is also the same as last week, three cents more than last month, and 87 cents lower than on this date a year ago.

“Holiday travelers will be paying much lower gas prices for their Fourth of July vacations than last year at this time,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “Those taking a road trip this summer anywhere in the U.S. can make sure they are not overpaying for gasoline by using a tool such as the free AAA Mobile app to shop around virtually for the lowest gas price near them.”
