Honolulu’s average gas price is $2.54 today, two cents less than last Thursday, 15 cents less than last month and 90 cents less than this time last year. In Hilo, the average gas price is $2.59 per gallon, a penny less than last week, 7 cents less than last month and 92 cents less than this time a year ago. Wailuku’s average is $3.29, two cents more than last Thursday, a penny less than last month and 48 cents less than at this time last year.
“Overall, Hawaii continues to benefit from oil prices below $40 per barrel and good inventories world-side,” said AAA Hawaii General Manager Liane Sumida. “This is a nice Christmas gift to motorists as they celebrate the end of the year.”
