GasBuddy warns Hawaii drivers to prepare for higher gas prices
The average gasoline prices in Hawaii rose 7.2 cents per gallon over the past week to reach $5.62, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 355 stations statewide.
Prices are 82.7 cents higher than a month ago and $1.15 higher than a year ago, and the national average price of diesel has increased 4.1 cents over the past week to $5.62 per gallon. According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Hawaii was $4.89 per gallon Sunday while the most expensive was $7.30.
“Average gasoline prices surged for many Americans through the first half of last week before easing in some areas after oil prices slipped following President Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “However, with a breakdown in talks and renewed escalation over the weekend, motorists should prepare for another round of price increases. The move toward a full blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is compounding global supply concerns and risks further disrupting flows, which pushed oil prices sharply higher in Sunday night trading.”
