Hawaii gas prices are a mix across the islands for the week statewide, but with Honolulu seeing an increase from last Thursday, according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch. Today’s statewide average price is $2.74, the same price as last Thursday, one cent higher than a month ago, and 28 cents lower than a year ago, according to GasPrices.AAA.com
In Honolulu, today’s average price is $2.60, which is up three cents from last Thursday, seven cents less since on this date last month and 27 cents lower than last year. The Hilo average price is $2.66, three cents lower than last Thursday, 10 cents lower than last month and 28 cents lower than on this date a year ago. Wailuku’s average is $3.24, which is the same price as last Thursday, four cents less than on this date last month and 15 cents less than on this date a year ago.
“Drivers in the western states continue to pay the most at the pump,” said AAA Hawaii General Manager Liane Sumida. “Hawaii at $2.74 per gallon today is the highest statewide average price in the country, but all major cities in Southern California have higher average prices than Honolulu, with a $2.60 average price today.”
