How to save more on gas in Louisville
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.

About gas prices in Kentucky
Kentucky benefits from the Marathon Catlettsburg refinery (roughly 285,000 barrels per day) on the Ohio River near Ashland, which supplies most of the state plus parts of Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The state gas tax is around 28 cents per gallon. Louisville and Lexington see the most competitive pricing, with Costco, Sam's Club, Speedway, and Thorntons (founded in Louisville) leading on value. Northern Kentucky (Florence, Independence, Erlanger) often prices 10 to 20 cents below Cincinnati because of lower Kentucky fuel taxes, drawing Ohio cross-border shoppers. Eastern Kentucky near the West Virginia border typically runs slightly above state average due to longer supply hauls into the Appalachian counties.
