Hawai'i gas still most expensive

Advertiser Staff

Hawai'i gasoline prices remained highest in the country while overall prices dropped slightly in the past two weeks as refineries finished projects that had been limiting production, Trilby Lundberg, who publishes the semimonthly Lundberg Survey, said yesterday.

The highest average price for a gallon of self-serve regular was $2.25 in Honolulu, according to the most recent Lundberg Survey. The lowest average price was $1.74, in Tulsa, Okla.

Nationwide, self-serve regular averaged $1.92 per gallon in the latest survey.

Elsewhere in Hawai'i, the average price for regular unleaded was $2.40 a gallon in Hilo on the Big Island and $2.65 a gallon in Wailuku on Maui, according to auto club AAA.
