Honolulu's average price is unchanged for four weeks at $4.31 a gallon for regular unleaded – up 31 cents from last month and down 11 cents from a year ago.

In Hilo, the average gas price is $4.35 per gallon, also unchanged from last week, one cent less than last month and 37 cents less than this time a year ago.

Choose oil with the phrase ‘energy conserving' stated on the American Petroleum Institute label. This oil has friction-reducing additives."
