Honolulu gas tops $2.50 (So does mine again: $2.59 for 87 octane) Oil prices eased back below $60 a barrel on world markets Thursday, but retail gasoline prices, still catching up to recent crude rises, kept rising, producing another record price in Honolulu. The AAA daily survey of credit card receipts at selected gas-and-go stations across the country showed these prices at the three Hawaii cities it tracks: Honolulu: $2.50 5/10, a new record, up more than six cents in the past month and 27 cents in the past year. Premium neared $2.70 a gallon. Hilo: $2.59 9/10, up more than two cents in the past month but still about three cents below the high of $2.63 1/10 set June 22. Premium hit $2.80. Wailuku: $2.79 4/10, up less than a penny in the past month and up about 14 cents in the past year; down 10 cents from the record set April 29. But the average self-serve price of premium gas in Wailuku has now topped $3.01. While AAA does not survey more remote sections of the state, diesel prices are commonly above $3 a gallon, affecting companies that use trucks to deliver their products, and their customers. Maritime shipping lines, led by Matson Navigation, imposed their latest fuel surcharge on their customers July 3, American Airlines hiked its cargo surcharge effective this week, and Young Brothers plans a 5.5 percent rate hike, its first increase in eight years, taking effect next Monday. bizjournals.com
