Hawaii gas prices repeated the pattern of the last few weeks - decreasing slightly in some areas while increasing slightly in others, according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch. Today’s statewide average price is $3.78 a gallon, which is one cent higher than last Thursday, two cents higher than a month ago and 68 cents more than a year ago, according to GasPrices.AAA.com

In Honolulu, today’s average price for regular is $3.63, which is one cent higher from last Thursday, two cents higher than on this date a month ago and 70 cents higher than on this date last year. The Hilo average price is $3.87, which is one cent higher than last Thursday, three cents more than on this date last month and 73 cents higher than on this date a year ago. 

In Kahului, the average price is $4.07, which is two cents lower than last Thursday, one cent higher than on this date last month and 56 cents higher than on this date a year ago.  Lihue’s average price for regular is $3.97, which is one cent higher than last Thursday, and the same price on this date last month and 61 cents more than a year ago. Wailuku’s average is $4.07, which is two cents lower than last Thursday, and is one cent higher than on this date a month ago and 56 cents higher than on this date a year ago.

“Local gas prices are mixed with small ups and downs compared to last week,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “In other fuel-related news, last week’s Energy Information Administration report showed West Coast gasoline supplies dropped by 1.2 million barrels, their largest one-week draw in five months.  The region’s supplies sit at 28.9 million barrels, which is still 2.7 million barrels higher than the same week last year.”
