Areas near Hawaii and their current gas price climate:

  • Alaska- $2.86/g, up 2.0 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.84/g.
  • Anchorage- $2.60/g, down 0.7 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.61/g.
  • Honolulu- $2.87/g, up 0.6 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.86/g.

“Over the last week, gasoline prices have risen across a majority of the country, following the price of oil which has been rising as of late,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com. “OPEC’s meeting this week could steal the focus and propel markets higher or lower, depending on the outcome of the meeting, but for now, the most likely outcome would put pressure on oil prices to rise, especially if there’s talk of another oil production cut from the cartel. Unfortunately, motorists are likely to see gasoline prices continue to rise in more places than prices fall, but it’s not all bad news- gasoline prices nationally continue to hold somewhat near their summer lows, something that wasn’t at all expected earlier this year.”
