HONOLULU (KITV4) -- Gas prices around the US continue to climb. The price for a gallon of gas in Hawaii remains one of the most expensive in the country too.
The island-by-island breakdown shows even more discrepancies. And keep in mind, the listed average price per gallon is usually just for REGULAR unleaded gasoline. If you are filling your ride up with the fancy high-octane stuff, you’re going to be paying more.
The price of gas was already climbing steadily. Then the Russian invasion of Ukraine, along with the crippling sanctions imposed on Russian energy imports, only drove the cost higher.
To save on fuel, AAA Hawai'i suggests servicing your car regularly, avoiding “jackrabbit” starts and hard accelerations, and using the air conditioning less often.
