Finding cheap gas in Lexington (40502)
Chevy Chase and Ashland Park make up this corner of Lexington, and it is one of the city's oldest and most walkable districts. The land was once part of Henry Clay's 600-acre Ashland estate, parts of it laid out by the Olmsted firm, and the small commercial node where Euclid and the side streets meet keeps a tight neighborhood feel.
Because this is a place people are proud to walk, the gas-buying happens on the edges. Richmond Road carries the through-traffic past the Ashland estate, and the stations strung along it see enough volume to stay competitive with the broader Lexington market. That is the corridor to lean on for a routine fill from this part of town.
The other reliable option is to fold a fill into a trip you are already taking. The major shopping corridors out toward Man o' War Boulevard and the Hamburg area carry far more stations actively competing on price, and a fill there consistently beats anything you would scramble to find within walking distance of Euclid Avenue.

How to save more on gas in Lexington
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 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.
