A very interesting piece of information can be found at the gasprices dot com websites. They have charts that plot gas prices for up to 6 years. I just looked at one chart and used Hawaii compared to the US Average, compared to Washington D.C., and also added the crude oil prices into the chart. The US Average and D.C, were almost mirror images (same for just about any mainland area). Hawaii sort of followed the trend but with such rapid spikes and dips that had it been an EKG, you would be in ICU. And, for some reason, there were big disconnects between raising and falling crude prices compared to gasoline prices. Take a look, it is interesting.[]
