Hawaii pump prices mostly declined throughout the islands during the last week, according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch.

“Hawaii gas prices continued to mostly dip over the past month,” said AAA Hawaii General Manager Liane Sumida. “But the West Coast continues to be the most expensive market for gasoline, including the only four states in the nation where drivers are paying more than $2.50 a gallon on average: Hawaii at $2.85, California at $2.65, Washington at $2.59 and Alaska at $2.61,” she added.
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 AAA-rated hotel and access AAA roadside assistance.
