Finding cheap gas in Montgomery (36109)
The east side of Montgomery centers on the Atlanta Highway corridor, where Eastdale Mall has been the area's retail landmark since 1977. US-231 feeds into the highway a block from the mall, so this stretch carries a constant blend of local shoppers and traffic moving between the interstate and the eastern suburbs.
Stations bunch up tightly along Atlanta Highway and around the Eastern Boulevard intersection, and that density works in your favor: when pumps sit within sight of each other, one operator dropping a few cents tends to pull the others down. The corners near Eastdale and the Eastern Boulevard crossing are usually worth a glance first.
Montgomery's prices generally track the broader Alabama market, which runs below the national average most of the year, so a careful look across the corridor here can land you a genuinely low fill.

How to save more on gas in Montgomery
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 Alabama
Alabama's state gas tax sits at roughly 29 cents per gallon, and the state benefits from direct pipeline access to Gulf Coast refineries in Louisiana and Mississippi. Mobile and Birmingham typically post some of the lowest prices in the Southeast thanks to short supply distances. Murphy USA stations (often attached to Walmart) lead on value across smaller cities, while Costco and Sam's Club dominate the metro areas. Buc-ee's has expanded into Alabama and pulls aggressive low pricing at its Leeds and Athens locations. Coastal Mobile occasionally sees hurricane-related price spikes when Gulf refining capacity is disrupted.
