In Kahului, the average price is $3.77, which is unchanged for the past two weeks, 14 cents higher than last month, and 24 cents higher than on this date a year ago. 

Lihue’s average price for regular is $3.95, which is four cents higher than last week, 11 cents higher than last month and 39 cents higher than a year ago today. 

In Honolulu, the average price for regular unleaded is $3.65, which is up four cents from a week ago, 20 cents higher than last month, and 57 cents higher than the price on this date last year.

“Although oil prices have stayed relatively flat for the past month, we haven’t seen a slowdown in our local gas price increases,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaiʻi general manager.  “We believe more vaccinations and more tourist visits are increasing demand for gasoline.”
