I think this falls under the heading of "DUHHH!".
Having traveled to Hawaii in the past, it has always been more expensive, and this goes back to 1989. The thing about Hawaii is, its an island. An island that imports most of the food consumed by the populance. Back in 1989, a $10 meal at a Sizzler in PA was a $17 dollar meal in Hawaii.
If you really want to compare how food prices have climbed. Just look at what you're paying now vs. what you were paying then.
