Hawaii gas prices again top the nation

Associated Press
HONOLULU — Gas prices across the nation are down, but Hawai'i still has the highest prices in the nation.

AAA and the Oil Price Information Service say the national average is $2.98 a gallon.

In Hawai'i, it's $3.50 a gallon. That's up 56 cents from a year ago.

The Honolulu average is $3.36 for regular and $3.62 for premium.

Wailuku has the highest average in the nation, with $3.85 for regular and $4.15 for premium.

Nationally, retail gas prices have mostly fallen since oil began its retreat from the record $100 level earlier this month.

Analysts and the Energy Department expect prices to reverse and rise to new records in the spring.
