Hawaii, HI, March 26- Average retail gasoline prices in Hawaii have risen 10.5 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.78/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 355 gas outlets in Hawaii.

Areas near Hawaii and their current gas price climate:

  • Alaska- $3.06/g, down 2.1 cents per gallon from last week’s $3.08/g.
  • Anchorage- $2.98/g, up 3.9 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.95/g.
  • Honolulu- $3.34/g, down 0.4 cents per gallon from last week’s $3.34/g.

“The jump at the pump has continued unabated over the last week as oil prices have rallied and the typical spring fever starts to grip energy markets, causing gas prices to continue to accelerate,” said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. “The Great Lakes led the region as the region cycled one step closer to the final summer-spec gasoline in the last week, and with the change, a price rise that was passed on from the wholesale to retail level, pushing their prices to tie for the highest prices in a couple years. Much of the rest of the country also saw prices rise, albeit a tamer rise. As March wraps up, gas prices are going out like a small lion, but there may be a larger lion looming in the weeks ahead. The surge at the pump is by no means over just yet.”
