Gas prices increased a bit again in Honolulu as drivers and vacationers look ahead to next week’s first day of summer, according to the AAA Hawaii Weekend Gas Watch. Today’s statewide average price is $2.74, up two cents from last week, eight cents higher than a month ago, and 69 cents lower than a year ago, according to GasPrices.AAA.com

 

In Honolulu, today’s average price is $2.55, which is two cents more than last week, 11 cents more than last month and 72 cents lower than last year.  The Hilo average price is $2.77, the same price as last Thursday, one cent higher than last month and 52 cents lower than on this date a year ago.  Wailuku’s average is $3.20, one cent more since last Thursday, four cents more than last month and 22 cents less than on this date a year ago.

 

“Consumers continue to benefit from the largest yearly savings, with pump prices in nearly every state in the region about 50 cents or greater per gallon less than last summer,” according to AAA Hawaii General Manager Liane Sumida.  “AAA Hawaii also wants to remind motorists that AAA continues to help travelers and the public with fuel information on the redesigned and renamed GasPrices.AAA.com,” she added.

 

Enhancements include an updated interface that resizes between desktop, mobile and tablet for improved visibility.  There’s also an enhanced gas-cost calculator featuring additional destination options, a miles-per-gallon (MPG) filter and results comparisons between locations to assist drivers with fuel savings.

 

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 hotel and access AAA roadside assistance.
