volcano to hilo when driving the speed limit will take 45 minutes, you might be able to do it in 35 if you're speeding and not hitting any traffic, like at 3am. if you're behind a slow truck or school bus, or if there is construction work, then you're going to hit an hour drive time pretty easily. it is a nice drive, and not nearly as stressful as the keaau to pahoa commute on hwy 130
weather is highly variable from volcano to hilo. sometimes it's rainy in volcano, then you get down to the volcano dump and it starts to clear out. sometimes its rainy in hilo and starts to clear out once you make it to Royal Hawaiian Estates. really hard to say.
volcano is not the cheapest. the equation is not the farther you get away from hilo the cheaper it is. it's kind of like that, but once you start getting close to volcano it gets expensive again.
check out hawaiian acres, fern acres, eden roc, fern forest, royal hawaiian estates and mauna loa estates. those are all the subdivisions from lowest to highest going up hwy 11 from keeau to volcano. they are all on the south side (kilauea) of the road. you can also check out the few areas on the north side (mauna loa) side of the road such as north kulani and north glenwood.
