Gas prices near 35173

Trussville grew up around the I-59 and I-459 split northeast of Birmingham, and that interchange near Exit 141 is where the retail gravity sits. The Colonial Promenade and the Pinnacle and Promenade centers at Tutwiler Farm pulled big-box shopping (and the fuel pumps that come with it) out to the Gadsden Highway side of town, so the busiest stations cluster there rather than in the older neighborhoods west of Highway 11.

US Route 11, which locals still call Gadsden Highway, is the spine here. It carries most of the daily commuter and shopping traffic, and the warehouse-club and grocery pumps along it tend to post a little under the stops right at the freeway ramps. The interstate stations price for drivers passing between Birmingham and Gadsden, so a quick detour onto Highway 11 usually saves a few cents.

Trussville straddles the Jefferson and St. Clair county line, and the 35173 ZIP also reaches into Argo and Moody. That means a station two miles apart can sit in a different county, but Alabama's fuel taxes are statewide, so the price differences you see are about competition and brand rather than which county line you crossed. Check before you commit, because the spread between a station on the highway and one tucked behind a shopping center can be real.
