Finding cheap gas in Springfield (65803)
North Springfield is built around the Kearney Street corridor, the wide east-west commercial run that has drawn a wave of redevelopment in recent years, from BigShots Golf to new fast-food anchors near North Glenstone. That steady stream of shoppers and the constant turnover at the busy corners keep this stretch among the more competitive parts of town for fuel.
Interstate 44 clips the top of the area and hands off to US-65 and Route 13, the Kansas Expressway, so the stations near those interchanges catch travelers moving between St. Louis and Tulsa alongside the local traffic. Glenstone Avenue and the Kearney crossings tend to post the keenest regular prices here.
Missouri runs one of the lower gas taxes in the country, and Springfield sits near the bottom of the state's price range most of the year. Comparing the Kearney and Glenstone stations against the ones closer to the I-44 ramps is the simplest way to shave a few cents off a fill.

How to save more on gas in Springfield
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 Missouri
Missouri sits on PADD 2 pipeline supply with the Phillips 66 Wood River refinery just across the Mississippi in Roxana, Illinois, providing roughly 350,000 barrels per day of supply to the St. Louis metro. The state gas tax is around 27 cents per gallon, on the lower end of the Midwest. St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield all see competitive pricing, with QuikTrip (founded in Tulsa but with strong Missouri presence), Costco, Sam's Club, and Casey's General Store leading on value across all three metros. The Kansas City Missouri-Kansas border creates an interesting pricing dynamic, with stations on the Kansas side sometimes running a few cents below the Missouri side because of different state tax structures.
