Gas price declines around the islands ranged from eight to 15 cents a gallon over the past week as cheaper crude oil prices drove retail prices down, according to the AAA Hawai‘i Weekend Gas Watch.

In Kahului, the average price is $3.98, which is eight cents lower than last Thursday, 22 cents lower than on this date last month and 29 cents higher than on this date a year ago.

Wailuku’s average is $3.98, which is eight cents lower than last Thursday, 22 cents lower than on this date a month ago and 28 cents higher than on this date a year ago.

“While gas prices are still expensive compared to last year or other regions of the country, they’re getting lower with the Western United States gas price averages declining over the past week,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawai‘i general manager. “Hawai‘i’s state average drop of 11 cents a gallon was the largest state average decline in the nation with California (-8 cents) and Washington (-6 cents) not far behind.”
