Finding cheap gas in South Bend (46628)
The 46628 ZIP covers South Bend's near and far northwest, the historic riverfront neighborhoods stretching along Portage Avenue, with the University of Notre Dame just across the St. Joseph River. Portage Avenue is the commercial spine here, carrying traffic out of downtown toward the city's northwest edge and the toll road beyond.
Like the rest of Indiana, this side of South Bend benefits from the state's 2026 suspension of its gas sales and excise taxes, which has left Indiana with the lowest pump prices in the country. Stations along Portage and near the Indiana Toll Road approaches see steady traffic and tend to keep their prices sharp.
Notre Dame's presence brings game-day and campus traffic into the area, but day to day the fueling is driven by residents and commuters. The Portage Avenue corridor holds most of the stations, so a quick comparison there usually settles where to fill up.

How to save more on gas in South Bend
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 Indiana
Indiana hosts the BP Whiting refinery on the Lake Michigan shore, which is the largest refinery in the Midwest at roughly 440,000 barrels per day and serves as the dominant supply source for Chicago, Northwest Indiana, and large parts of the Midwest. The state gas tax is around 33 cents per gallon when sales tax is layered on, slightly above the Midwest average. Costco, Sam's Club, Speedway (now part of 7-Eleven), and Murphy USA at Walmart locations are the most reliable for value across Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville. Gary and Hammond often see the lowest pump prices statewide thanks to direct Whiting refinery supply.
