Finding cheap gas in Richmond (47374)
Richmond sits in eastern Wayne County right against the Ohio line, where Interstate 70 and the historic National Road (US Route 40) both cross into the neighboring state. For years the border story here was ordinary, but 2026 flipped it: Indiana suspended its gas sales and excise taxes, and the state now posts the lowest pump prices in the country.
That makes Richmond the cheap side of this line. Ohio's average runs well above Indiana's, so drivers coming west on I-70 have real reason to fill up in Richmond before crossing, and the stations near the Exit 156 and 151 interchanges price knowing they sit at that gateway.
Within town, US 40 runs through the heart of the city and carries plenty of stations away from the interstate. A driver not catching the highway can usually do better comparing those in-town pumps than grabbing the first station at an I-70 ramp.

How to save more on gas in Richmond
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.
