Finding cheap gas in Marion (52302)
Marion is one of Iowa's fastest-growing cities and a close-in suburb of Cedar Rapids, with a tidy historic downtown along Seventh Avenue and rapid new development pushing north and east. U.S. 151 and Iowa Highway 13 run north and south through town, and those highway corridors, plus Seventh Avenue heading toward Cedar Rapids, frame the local fuel market.
Because Marion sits right against Cedar Rapids, drivers here effectively shop a shared metro fuel market, and the busy retail strips that have grown up along the highways carry the most competitive pumps. Grocery and warehouse fuel discounts tied to the larger stores are often the smart value, since the loyalty-card cents-off can beat the standalone stations on the same road.
The newer commercial clusters along Highway 13 and the 151 corridor tend to post the day's better numbers, fed by steady suburban traffic. Filling up there rather than at the smaller pumps near the older downtown is usually the cheaper call before you head onto the highways toward Cedar Rapids.

How to save more on gas in Marion
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 Iowa
Iowa is Casey's General Store country, with hundreds of locations across the state that typically run among the cheapest pump prices in the Midwest. The state gas tax is around 30 cents per gallon, plus Iowa's ethanol-friendly market promotes E15 and E85 blends that often run 10 to 30 cents below regular unleaded for compatible vehicles. Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Davenport see the most competitive pricing thanks to Casey's, Kum & Go, Hy-Vee Fuel, and Costco competing for membership cards. Rural Iowa cooperative stations (Co-op and FS Energy) are often surprisingly competitive due to direct grain-and-fuel distribution relationships.
