For a short while Hawaii was second in the nation on the average price of a gallon of gasoline, just behind California. However, that was short lived. Gas prices are back on the rise and Hawaii is back out in front. Unfortunately.
The nationwide average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $2.68 as of this morning. The average price of gas in Hawaii, $3.05, just edging out California’s $3.02 average price. And for those that think that price is just on the Big Island, where prices are usually a little bit higher, think again. $3 gas is popping up all over the greater Honolulu area.
The price of gas bottom out in the low $2 range earlier this year as the economy was struggling to recover. The thought of $3 or even $4 gas was long gone as the price hike was thought to have gone away. But it’s back and appears to be here to stay.
