With $100.00 a barrel oil prices on the horizon...it looks like gasoline prices in Hawaii may see $4.00 a gallon at the pumps by January! Along with that...our electric rates will be climbing and Matson just announced another price hike for items shipped into the state and another price hike set for January 1.
On the bright side....interisland travel is still a bargain. Go airlines just announced another fare war of $29.00 each way through January 31st (plenty of seats available). Aloha reluctantly matched it (although seats are extremely hard to find). Hawaiian has not of yet matched it.
Question: With the cost of living in Hawaii going up drastically in the next few months...I wonder if salaries will follow?
