Does the EIA publish a diesel price for Hawaii?

No. The EIA weekly on-highway diesel survey covers the United States, five PADDs, three PADD 1 sub-districts, West Coast less California, and California. Hawaii is not surveyed, so this page shows West Coast less California and labels it as a district figure.

Read this as a district figure, not a state figure. The EIA weekly on-highway diesel survey prices the United States, its districts and California, and nothing else. It does not price Hawaii. The number above is West Coast less California, series EMD_EPD2D_PTE_R5XCA_DPG, and it is the closest published federal figure for Hawaii. We do not estimate a price for Hawaii from it.

Hawaii is inside PADD 5 but every gallon arrives by tanker and county fuel taxes stack on the state rate, so the West Coast regional average understates island pump prices.

EIA does not publish a weekly on-highway diesel price for Hawaii. The federal survey prices the district Hawaii sits in, West Coast less California, at $5.872 per gallon in the week of August 31, 2026 (series EMD_EPD2D_PTE_R5XCA_DPG), $0.27 above the US average of $5.599. Pump prices inside the district vary around that figure.

Every figure on this site is read out of a published federal survey, which means there is always a real answer to where it came from. Send the question and a person reads it. Answers name the table, the series and the survey week, so you can go and look at the same row we did.

Where a question shows up a gap, the answer goes onto the page it came from as well as into the reply. If your question and its answer would be useful to other drivers we may publish an anonymised version, and we ask you before we do.
