Maui gas prices have fallen further this week and gas price declines around the islands picked up speed over the past week, according to the AAA Hawai‘i Weekend Gas Watch.

“The Energy Information Administration’s weekly petroleum status report showed the western United States gasoline stocks increased by 300,000 barrels to 26.9 million barrels,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawai‘i general manager. “Stocks are approximately 1.3 million barrels lower than at this same time last year, which could cause prices to increase if there’s a supply challenge in our region. However, we are entering a lower demand period of the year along with lower oil prices, which may offset the potential for increases.”
