Mike Sweeney, in black truck, arrives at a gas station to fill up his truck in Kahului, Hawaii. Sweeney recently moved from Denver and was hit with the other side of living in paradise with his first visit to the gas pump. Residents on the island of Maui are paying more for a gallon of gas than anywhere else in the nation.

"After seeing the total, I won't be smiling," Sweeney said as he watched the numbers on the Chevron pump spin faster than a slot machine. The pump finally stopped at $97.20, which put 24.5 gallon to fill his Chevrolet Avalanche.
