HONOLULU — Hawai'i residents are still paying the highest gas prices in the nation — 45 cents a gallon higher than the national average.

According to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report, the average for a gallon of regular in the Islands is $3.48. The national average rose 2 cents from Monday to Tuesday to $3.03 a gallon.

The second-highest gas price is in New York at $3.23, followed by California at $3.19. Alaska, Connecticut and Washington are all averaging $3.18. Twenty-two states are below the $3 mark.

Gasoline prices have been fluctuating as the cost of oil has been drifting back up toward the record high of $100 a barrel hit in early January.
