Finding cheap gas in Richmond (23230)
Scott's Addition has flipped from a gritty industrial district into one of Richmond's busiest food-and-brewery scenes, packed with taprooms, restaurants, and apartments, all hard against West Broad Street and the I-195 and I-64 corridors. The constant flow of visitors and West End commuters keeps this a high-traffic pocket.
West Broad Street is where the fuel competition lives, with stations spaced along the commercial run between downtown and the Willow Lawn shopping area to the west. Inside Scott's Addition itself the old warehouse blocks have more breweries than pumps, so the reliable fill-ups sit out on Broad or near the nearby interstate ramps.
Because Broad Street is such a major artery, the stations here see heavy volume and price accordingly, usually landing near the Richmond average. If you are in the neighborhood for a meal, topping off on West Broad on the way out beats searching the interior streets for a station that mostly is not there.

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.
