Buying gas in Hawaii is much like in the States; the pumps and the currency are the same. Although gas prices can be much more expensive in Hawaii compared to the States.

All grades of unleaded petrol (Benzin), diesel and LPG are available as well as lead substitute additive. Led no longer exists. It is allowed to carry petrol in a can. If you make a mistake refueling, don't start the car but ask the attendants to drain the tank for you. This will save you from having to pay for any damage.

Keep your tank topped up as there are no gas stations available on remote roads such as Saddle Road on the Big Island and Hana Highway on Maui.

Credit and debit cards are widely accepted. It`s a good idea to let your card issuer know you will be traveling abroad. This ensures they don`t suspend your card if they spot it being used in unfamiliar places, which they sometimes do as an anti-fraud measure.
