“Gas prices on the West Coast continue to be the highest in the country: Hawaii ($2.81), California ($2.75), Washington ($2.71), Alaska ($2.65) and Oregon ($2.52),” said AAA Hawaii General Manager Liane Sumida. “AAA Hawaii reminds drivers that they can save money by making sure their vehicle is as empty as possible since carrying bulky items when it’s not necessary decrease fuel economy. They should not, however, remove the spare tire. ”

The app also can be used by AAA members to map a trip, find discounts, book a hotel and access AAA roadside assistance.
