Hawaii gas prices continued to climb for the third straight week in most areas as oil prices continue hovering near $100 a barrel, according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch. The average price for Hawaii is $4.44, which is three cents higher than last week. The average national price is $3.48, up seven cents from a week ago.

In Honolulu, today’s average price for regular unleaded is $4.33, which is three cents above last week, ten cents higher a month ago, and $1.14 higher than the price on this date last year. The Hilo average gas price is $4.44, up three cents from last week, 14 cents higher than a month ago, and 91 cents higher than on this date a year ago.

In Kahului, the average price is $4.58, which is the same as last week, six cents higher than last month, and $1.03 higher than on this date a year ago. Lihue’s average price for regular is $4.74, which is up three cents from last week, 12 cents higher than last month and $1.05 higher than a year ago today.

“According to Tom Kloza with Oil Price Information Service, the major reasons gas prices are rising now around the U.S. include inflation and higher oil prices,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “Drivers should keep in mind that they can usually find prices that are much cheaper than the average price in their area by using tools such as the free AAA Mobile app.”

Motorists can find current gas prices along their route with the free AAA Mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android. The app can also be used to map a route, find AAA discounts, book a hotel and access AAA Roadside Assistance. Learn more at AAA.com/Mobile.
