Finding cheap gas in Honolulu (96815)
This is the Waikiki ZIP, the resort heart of Honolulu, and it has remarkably few places to actually buy gas. The neighborhood is packed wall to wall with hotels and the Kalakaua and Kuhio strip, so the handful of stations that do exist, like the long-running one on Kapahulu Avenue near the Ala Wai Canal, know they are often the only nearby option for a returning rental car.
Hawaii consistently carries the highest pump prices in the country, and within that, the resort corridor runs at a premium of its own. A station inside the Waikiki tourist zone can post noticeably more than one a couple of miles away, so the smarter move is to fill up before you get here. Stations just outside the strip along Kapahulu, King Street, and Beretania Avenue tend to be friendlier on price.
If you have time and a Costco membership, the warehouse fuel near downtown at Iwilei is usually the cheapest on this side of the island and worth the short detour for a full tank. For a quick top-off before dropping a rental, though, the Kapahulu-area pumps are the practical Waikiki choice.

How to save more on gas in Honolulu
1. Use warehouse clubs
Costco and Sam’s Club typically price 15-25 cents per gallon below nearby stations. Membership pays for itself within a few fill-ups.
2. Fill up early in the week
Stations often raise prices Thursday for weekend demand. Fill up Monday through Wednesday to avoid the lift.
3. Keep tires properly inflated
Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy by up to 3 percent at current prices. Check pressure once a month.
4. Check back tomorrow
Prices can shift 10-20 cents overnight during volatile markets. A quick check before you leave home avoids paying yesterday’s spike.
5. Pay cash at split-pricing stations
Stations with cash and credit split pricing typically save an average of 10 cents per gallon when you pay cash.

About gas prices in Hawaii
Hawaii imports nearly all of its gasoline by ocean tanker from refineries in Asia, California, and the Pacific Northwest, which is why pump prices are consistently the highest in the nation. The state gas tax is around 16 cents per gallon, plus a 4-cent county tax in most jurisdictions and a 4 percent General Excise Tax. Honolulu and Hilo can see 20 to 40 cents per gallon differences between neighborhoods due to truck delivery costs to remote islands and rural areas. Costco in Honolulu typically posts the lowest prices in the state, with Aloha Petroleum and 7-Eleven dominating most non-Costco retail across Honolulu and Hilo. Maui and Kauai usually run 10 to 30 cents above Oahu prices.
