A new national study said Honolulu drivers have the worst commute in the entire country with Los Angeles coming in second.

Conducted by a company called Inrix, the scorecard reveals that traffic along the H-1 keeps drivers idling, burning fuel and watching their blood pressure rise on roadways choked with traffic.

The study said it takes 88 percent more time to get where you're going than if there was no congestion.

However, the average travel time is 2 minutes shorter this year, compared to last year because of fewer vehicles on the road.
