Finding cheap gas in Richmond (23227)
Northside runs up Brook Road from the city toward Bryan Park, taking in the tree-shaded Bellevue district with its small-town feel and the Hermitage Road historic homes. This part of Richmond sits right off I-95, so it functions as both a settled residential area and a corridor that funnels commuters in and out of downtown.
Brook Road is the fuel spine here. The stations along it and near the I-95 access points carry most of the volume and the better prices, while the interior streets of Bellevue and the older neighborhoods nearby lean residential with few pumps. Filling up while you are already on Brook Road or about to hop on the interstate is the efficient play.
Northside prices track the broader Richmond market. With I-95 so close, the stations positioned for highway traffic stay reasonably keen, but it still pays to compare a couple before committing, since the quieter side-street stops rarely beat them.

How to save more on gas in Richmond
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 Virginia
Virginia's gas tax is roughly 40 cents per gallon and the state pulls supply from the Colonial Pipeline running through Richmond on its way to the Northeast, plus Plantation Pipeline for the southwest. Northern Virginia (Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington) tracks DC-metro prices that run higher than the rest of the state due to RFG requirements, while Richmond and Hampton Roads typically price 5 to 15 cents below NoVA. Costco, Sam's Club, Wawa, and Sheetz are the dependable value picks across Arlington, Richmond, and Virginia Beach metros, with Wawa especially popular along Interstate 95.
