According to AAA Hawaii, retail gas prices fell throughout the state over the past week — including a 10-cent drop per gallon in Hilo.
The state average for regular unleaded gasoline decreased by 10 cents since last week to $4.31 per gallon. That’s a dime less than last month and 14 cents higher than last year.
Honolulu’s average price lowered to $4.23 a gallon for regular unleaded. That’s nine cents less than last week, 12 cents less than last month, and 18 cents higher than last year.
Motorists in Hilo are paying an average of $4.36 per gallon. That’s down a dime from last week, a nickel less than last month, and four cents more than this time last year.
Over in Wailuku, the average is $4.47 per gallon. That’s eight cents less than last week, three cents less than last month, and four cents higher than last year.
"Price relief has come to the Aloha state," said AAA Hawaii Regional Manager Diane Peterson. "The states with $4 a gallon gas also experienced price declines: the state average in Hawaii dropped by a dime, the state average declined by 24 cents in California to $4.07 and the state average dipped by a nickel in Alaska to $4.20."
