Never thought of it like that as the gas price was certainly lower than back home in California. But I can say when I was at OGG most people were trying to get SUV's or Jeep's that it was almost a mad dash as those were the vehicle of choice on Maui with the Aisle. At HNL, The agent seemed pretty open to what I would like so I (thankfully) didn't feel pressured into taking the SUV. My Tiguan was parked in one of the stalls marked "Executive" with a stall number, however, as there is no "official" Aisle I am not sure if these signs just denote the vehicles for Executive Members as they are parked closer to the elevator? I was the only one there at the time so couldn't quite compare to the experience of others. I will say the breakdown of vehicles I saw as I was driving out of the garage was about 1/3 SUV's or Higher End Vehicles, 1/3 Sedans, and about 1/3 Convertibles or other Sporty Type vehicles. I wasn't offered a higher end vehicle or convertible, however I didn't ask either. She did make it should like I could have my pick of the litter (as long as it wasn't Exotic) though and was very friendly in listing what they had that she thought I would like. Overall it was much better than I was expecting or used to at a non-aisle location.
