The Hawai’i average price was up 3 cents a gallon from a week earlier and 12 cents from a month ago.

In Honolulu the average price was $3.26 a gallon, up 3 cents from a week ago and 12 cents from a month ago.
The average price in Hilo was $3.39, up 5 cents from a week ago and 15 cents from the same time last month.
