Key factors:
The price of regular gas in Hawaii is higher than the average in New Jersey and California but lower than the average prices on Long Island.

Inland area vs. island area.
The cost of living is higher in the island area because the cost of living is higher in the island area.
The cost of living is lower in the inland area because the cost of living is lower in the inland area.
The price per gallon for regular gas varies widely depending on where you live and how far from your nearest refinery you are (the closer it gets to a refinery, the more expensive it gets).
Cost of living.
Hawaii is a costly place to live. The cost of living in Hawaii is much higher than in most other states, especially for Honolulu. As such, you’ll need to budget for food and housing costs if you plan on living there for any length of time.
The cost of living is typical for both islands.
When planning your trip, remember that Hawaii’s cost of living is similar to New Jersey, California, and Florida. It’s also identical to Texas and Arizona in terms of housing costs. Finally, it’s very close to Nevada when renting an apartment or house at a fair market rent (Source: [1]).
I have fixed expenses like a mortgage, car payments, and utilities.
Fixed expenses like a mortgage, car payments, and utilities differ from gas. Fixed expenses are things you pay monthly regardless of whether you have money to spend.
The best way to think about fixed costs is that they’re like rent—you don’t care how much it costs until you can’t afford it anymore. If your landlord raised the rent on your apartment because he needed more money for repairs, then yes: Your monthly payment went up by $100 per month because of something beyond your control (the landlord). But if he decided to raise the price at McDonald’s because everyone was ordering cheaper lattes instead of burgers? That’s not going to affect what happens with our food budget!
Regarding gas prices in Hawaii, the situation is similar to what it is in New Jersey.
Hawaii is a popular tourist destination, so gas prices are higher than in other states. However, many military bases in Hawaii contribute to the high fuel costs.
