Statewide gas prices declined slightly over the past week, according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch. Today’s statewide average price is $2.61, two cents less than a week ago, six cents less than last month and 43 cents less than a year ago, according to the AAA Fuel Gauge Report. 

 

In Honolulu, today’s average price is $2.43, which is two cents less than last week, eight cents less than last month and 50 cents lower than last year.  The Hilo average price is $2.56, down two cents from last Thursday, a penny lower than last month and 46 cents lower than on this date a year ago.  Wailuku’s average is $3.13, one cent lower since last week, two cents less than last month and 20 cents less than at this time last year.

 

“Hawaii ($2.61) leads the market with a pump price that is double-digits above second-place California ($2.45),” said AAA Hawaii General Manager Liane Sumida. “Regional neighbors Alaska ($2.31), Nevada ($2.14) and Washington ($2.06) join in the rankings and round out the nation’s top five most expensive markets for retail gasoline.”

 

Motorists can find current prices along their route with the free AAA Mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android, available at AAA.com/mobile. The app also can be used by AAA members to map a trip, find discounts, book a hotel and access AAA roadside assistance.
