Gas prices have fallen, but that hasn’t done much to get Hawaii’s prices in line with the mainland. 

Pacific Business News reports:

Gas prices fell in Hawaii for the seventh straight week, the statewide average price of a gallon of regular unleaded declining by 3 cents to $4.18, according to AAA Hawaii’s Weekend Gas Watch.

While the statewide average this week was 22 cents lower than last month, it was 12 cents higher than a year ago and still by far the highest in the nation
