Hilo gas prices continue to fall

[Jon]

you better shop around some...
Hilo - 2.67 average (51.0 cents of that is Hi. gas tax)
SF - 1.97 average (63.9 cents of that is Ca. gas tax)

I am sorry, it does not cost $1.00 to ship a gallon of any product to Hawaii. Especially in bulk.

I agree with the Work to Want Ratio ... that is really true. And let's NOT forgive that we do live in the middle of the Pacific Ocean... it is natural to assume that what has to be shipped to us is going to be costly. Gas is one of those things. There are companies that take advantage of us as well.

The bus system in the Hilo area is actually quite extensive for the size of the community and I find it unbelievable that it is FREE (though your backpack costs $1)

Gas on the mainland is all over the board... we live in the SF Bay area (till January) and Chevron's HEADQUARTERS are just 5 miles from my house. We are still paying very high prices, though they have gone down a bit. They are basically the same or more than Hilo prices across the board. We lived in Chicago and there prices were also high. Much of it has to do with the taxes added to gas.



Aloha au i Hawai`i,
