Finding cheap gas in Flushing (11358)

This is Auburndale, an upper-middle-class pocket of northern Queens between Bayside and Murray Hill, more suburban in feel than the Flushing name suggests. Northern Boulevard cuts through the center and Francis Lewis Boulevard crosses it, and those two arteries plus the nearby Clearview Expressway (I-295) carry essentially all the fuel traffic.

The neighborhood itself is mostly single-family and small-apartment residential with the Long Island Rail Road running through, so stations are concentrated on the main boulevards rather than the quiet interior streets. The pumps near the Northern Boulevard and Francis Lewis intersection, and those close to the Clearview ramps, are the practical options.

New York City fuel prices sit well above the national average, so the realistic goal is finding the best of a pricey field. Stations along Northern Boulevard that compete for the through-traffic to Long Island usually edge out the more isolated ones, so it is worth checking two before you stop.

How to save more on gas in Flushing

  1. 1. Use warehouse clubs

    Costco and Sam’s Club typically price 15-25 cents per gallon below nearby stations. Membership pays for itself within a few fill-ups.

  2. 2. Fill up early in the week

    Stations often raise prices Thursday for weekend demand. Fill up Monday through Wednesday to avoid the lift.

  3. 3. Keep tires properly inflated

    Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy by up to 3 percent at current prices. Check pressure once a month.

  4. 4. Check back tomorrow

    Prices can shift 10-20 cents overnight during volatile markets. A quick check before you leave home avoids paying yesterday’s spike.

  5. 5. Pay cash at split-pricing stations

    Stations with cash and credit split pricing typically save an average of 10 cents per gallon when you pay cash.

About gas prices in New York

New York's gas tax sits near 49 cents per gallon when you fold in petroleum business taxes, motor fuel taxes, and the prepaid sales tax, giving it one of the higher per-gallon burdens nationally. New York City and Long Island both require reformulated gasoline (RFG) to meet federal clean-air standards, which adds a few cents over upstate prices and explains why a station in Buffalo prices noticeably below an equivalent in Queens. Costco, Sam's Club, Speedway, and Stewart's Shops in the Hudson Valley tend to be your cheapest options across New York City, Buffalo, and Syracuse metros.
