“Oil prices are falling fast and helping Hawaii motorists and drivers around the nation at the retail pump and with family budgets again this week,” said AAA Hawaii General Manager Liane Sumida. “State average prices around the country continue to drop dramatically with: Alaska at $3.48 a gallon, California at $3.03, Delaware at $2.78 and South Carolina at $2.49. Many states now show averages in the mid-$2 a gallon range on www.fuelgaugereport.aaa.com.”
