Maui gas prices.

Gas prices in Kahului and Wailuku were $3.55 for a gallon of regular, which is unchanged from the week before, 11 cents lower than last month and 38 cents lower than a year ago.

“The Energy Information Administration weekly report showed that western US gasoline stocks decreased slightly by approximately 200,000 barrels to 32.6 million barrels,” according to Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaiʻi general manager. “Stocks are approximately 2.4 million barrels lower than at this time last year, which could pose a risk of higher retail prices if there is a supply challenge in the area.”
