  • Honolulu- $2.98/g, up 0.9 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.98/g.

“Refinery liquidation of cheaper winter grade fuel keeps pump prices in similar territory for the week ahead,” said Dan McTeague, GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst. “The ongoing saga of global oil production limitations becomes less important as refineries begin the early stages of maintenance and turnarounds to accommodate summer gasoline blends.”
