Finding cheap gas in Pine Bluff (71601)
Pine Bluff is the Jefferson County seat and a historic cotton-and-river city about 40 miles southeast of Little Rock, with I-530 tying it directly into the capital. That interstate link matters at the pump: a lot of the fuel demand here moves along the I-530 corridor and the main commercial roads feeding it, where the busier stations price to catch both commuters and through-traffic.
Major employers like the regional medical center, Tyson, Evergreen Packaging, and the Union Pacific yards keep a steady working population moving across town daily. The grocery and high-volume convenience stations along the principal arterials tend to anchor pricing, while the smaller neighborhood stops follow a bit behind.
If you are getting onto I-530 to run up to Little Rock, the stations near the interchange and along the corridor are the natural place to fill, but it is worth comparing a couple first, since the convenience of the ramp can carry a small premium. Pine Bluff's prices generally track the broader central Arkansas market, so a quick check across two or three stations is usually all it takes to find the better deal.

How to save more on gas in Pine Bluff
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 Arkansas
Arkansas hosts the headquarters of Murphy USA in El Dorado and Walmart in Bentonville, which is why Murphy USA stations attached to Walmart locations consistently post the lowest gas prices statewide. The state gas tax is roughly 25 cents per gallon, lower than most of the South, and Arkansas draws supply from refineries in El Dorado plus pipeline shipments from Texas and Louisiana. Costco and Sam's Club lead on value in the larger metros (Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith), while Kum & Go and EZ Mart compete on the rural highways. Prices typically run 10 to 20 cents below the national average.
