“We’ve seen prices remain pretty stable for nearly a month, which reflects the fact that vehicle miles traveled in the state is about half of what it was before the state lockdown in March,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “Other states have seen traffic demand increase, so gas prices have increased as well.”
INRIX, the traffic data analysis company, has estimated that vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in Hawaii is at 54% of the estimated VMT at the end of February.
