Finding cheap gas in Richmond (23235)
This is the Bon Air side of the river, a leafy Chesterfield County suburb bounded by Huguenot Road and Midlothian Turnpike, knit into the rest of Richmond by the Chippenham and Powhite parkways. Chesterfield Towne Centre and the retail around the Huguenot and Midlothian intersection give the area a strong commercial anchor, including a Costco that pulls plenty of fuel traffic.
Those two arterials, Midlothian Turnpike and Huguenot Road, carry the competitive stations, and the warehouse and grocery fuel near the mall tends to undercut the smaller stops. The older residential streets of Bon Air, some of which trace 18th-century plantation roads, hold few pumps, so the shopping corridors are where the value is.
Prices here run in line with the Richmond metro. Easy parkway access means it is simple to reach a busier Midlothian Turnpike station rather than settle for the nearest quiet one, and that is usually where the cheaper fill-up waits.

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.
