Hawaii gas prices hold steady as cost continues to fall across the country

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – As gas prices decline across the U.S., gas prices in Hawaii are holding steady and at a lower average than last year.

It’s bringing some relief to drivers now paying a little less to fill up their tanks.

The national average gas price went two cents lower than last week to $3.36.

The statewide average cost for a gallon of regular unleaded currently stands at $4.65, according to AAA’s latest report.

These were the average prices for regular unleaded across the islands:

• Honolulu: $4.50 (16 cents lower than last year)
• Hilo: $4.84 (5 cents lower than last year)
• Kahului: $4.70 (11 cents lower than last year)
• Lihue: $5.25 (3 cents lower than last year)

Gas prices in Hawaii are still lower than they were in 2023.

This comes after industry experts predicted gas prices would drop this year after it skyrocketed to record highs last year.

Experts added that today’s falling gas prices could also be because fewer people are hitting the road.
