Yesterday Friday we paid 3.65 a gallon at Safeway and at Aloha by the airport entrance we paid 3.62 a gallon with cash.
In California the state tax on all fuels per gallon will increase approx .40 cents a gallon on January 1st 2015 .
Lucky we live Hawaii.
Not really very lucky when it comes to the taxes placed on gasoline. Over 65 cents is added for every gallon you buy in Hawaii. The stations around Hilo would be around $2.99 without these taxes.
BTW 40 cents is the average in the 50 states, so Hawaii is a quarter per gallon higher.
