Finding cheap gas in Columbus (43220)
This is Olentangy West, a northwest Columbus area about five miles from downtown, threaded by the Olentangy River and reached mainly by State Route 315. Henderson Road, Kenny Road, and Riverside Drive carry the local traffic, and the area's car-dependent layout means most fueling happens on those arterials.
The commercial stretches near Henderson Road and the SR-315 interchange are where stations concentrate and where prices respond to commuter volume. The residential streets toward the river and the parks offer little reason to expect a station, so the practical move is to fill on the way to or from the main roads rather than hunting inside the neighborhoods.
Because SR-315 connects this area quickly to downtown and the OSU campus area, the stations near that corridor see steady through-traffic that holds them competitive. Comparing a couple along Henderson Road usually finds the local low.

How to save more on gas in Columbus
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 Ohio
Ohio sits squarely inside the Midwest refining region (PADD 2), drawing fuel from refineries in Toledo, Cleveland, Lima, and across the Indiana and Michigan border. The state gas tax is 38.5 cents per gallon for regular and slightly higher for diesel. Speedway (now part of 7-Eleven) is the dominant chain in most metros, with Sheetz prevalent in the Pittsburgh-adjacent eastern counties, GetGo (Giant Eagle) in Cleveland and Akron, and Murphy USA, Sam's Club, and Costco offering the cheapest warehouse-style pricing across Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, and Dayton.
