MEDIA RELEASE
After two successful 76 gas station “takeovers†on Oahu, First Insurance Company of Hawaii will be bringing relief from high gas prices to the Big Island for the first time Saturday, Aug. 27.
As part of the promotion, the 76 gas station at 1698 Kilauea Avenue in Hilo will lower gas prices for two hours only, 1-3 p.m.
The “secret†price of gas will be revealed to drivers Saturday morning on FICOH’s Twitter (@FirstInsHI) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/FirstInsHI) pages.
In Hilo, the average price of regular gas is $4.15 a gallon, according to AAA Hawaii. Saturday’s reduced price will be for all grades of gas.
FICOH will also be giving away $500 in gas to one lucky winner. Entry forms will only be available 1-3 p.m. at the Kilauea 76, with the winner being announced later in the day on KBIG 97.9 FM.
Drivers will also get free window washes, courtesy of FICOH staff volunteers. The Kilauea 76 store will also be offering discounts on food and drink specials.
“We understand that customers need all the economic relief they can get right now, which is why we are happy to host this event and help our friends in Hilo,†said Allen Uyeda, president and CEO of First Insurance. â€This is a way for us to thank our Big Island customers who have already switched their auto insurance to First and to further increase our visibility in this market.â€
Earlier this year, FICOH launched new, lower auto insurance rates that can save customers up to hundreds of dollars.
