Finding cheap gas in Newark (19713)
This southeast slice of Newark is the Brookside and Ogletown side of town, anchored by the large ChristianaCare Christiana Hospital campus on Ogletown-Stanton Road rather than the University of Delaware (which sits in the city's other ZIPs). It's a busy suburban stretch threaded by Route 273 and close to the I-95 corridor between Newark and Wilmington.
Delaware's draw at the pump is its tax structure: there's no sales tax, and the state's gasoline excise sits well below those of neighboring Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, which makes filling up in Delaware a genuine bargain for drivers crossing in. Stations near the I-95 and Route 1 corridors catch a lot of that out-of-state traffic.
Locally, the stations along Route 273 and the Ogletown crossroads compete for the steady hospital, commuter, and through traffic. Even Delaware's already-cheaper gas varies a few cents from corner to corner, so the busier corridor stations are still where the best local number turns up.

How to save more on gas in Newark
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. Fill up early in the week
Stations often raise prices Thursday for weekend demand. Fill up Monday through Wednesday to avoid the lift.
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. 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. 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 Delaware
Delaware's small size and density along Interstate 95 mean strong retail competition keeps gas prices below most of the Mid-Atlantic. The state gas tax is roughly 23 cents per gallon, lower than Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey. Wawa and Royal Farms are the dominant value-pricing convenience chains, with new locations opening regularly along I-95 and the coastal Route 1 corridor. Costco in Christiana and BJ's Wholesale in Wilmington draw membership-card customers from neighboring states. Delaware Memorial Bridge traffic from New Jersey often fills up in Delaware specifically to capture the lower tax rate.
