MEDIA RELEASE

Hawaii, HI, May 30- Average retail gasoline prices in Hawaii have fallen 2.4 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.27/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 355 gas outlets in Hawaii. This compares with the national average that has fallen 0.6 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.36/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on May 30 in Hawaii have ranged widely over the last five years:
$2.72/g in 2016, $3.30/g in 2015, $4.35/g in 2014, $4.35/g in 2013 and $4.53/g in 2012.

Areas near Hawaii and their current gas price climate:

  • Alaska- $2.99/g, up 5.5 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.94/g.
  • Anchorage- $2.71/g, down 0.6 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.72/g.
  • Honolulu- $2.87/g, down 0.5 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.88/g.

“With the summer driving season officially started, gasoline prices stand just a few cents higher than where they started last summer, an impressive feat,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com. “Surprisingly, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Maine, Missouri and Iowa just witnessed the cheapest Memorial Day at the pump since 2005, a major feat. With the national average now seeing minor decline and roughly at the same point it was a week ago, summer gas prices are shaping up to be quite a bit lower than previous expectations and similar to what we saw last summer. This sets up a great summer season to hit the road, pointing to rising U.S. oil production in the midst of oil production cuts from OPEC for the stable prices.”
