I gotta feeling that gasoline is going to become a very scarce commodity in the Aloha State. You may have to trade in your moped for a bicycle. :)

Hawaii caps gas prices well below current levels
A gallon of gas in Honolulu to cost just under $2.16 starting Sept. 1

Associated Press

HONOLULU - The state Public Utilities Commission on Wednesday released its list of caps on the wholesale price of gasoline, with the price in Honolulu at just under $2.16, setting the stage for gas prices in Hawaii, the highest in the nation, to dramatically fall.

The caps are effective starting Sept. 1, when Hawaii's first-in-the-nation price cap law goes into effect, through Sept. 4.

The statewide average of the retail price of a gallon of regular unleaded on Wednesday reached a record $2.84, 4 cents higher than California and the highest in the nation, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report.

Prices on Maui have already topped $3 a gallon this week, while Honolulu hit a record $2.76 on Wednesday.

If wholesalers charge the maximum $2.16 under the cap and retailers keep their usual 12 cent per gallon markup, prices for regular unleaded would fall to $2.28 per gallon.
