Finding cheap gas in Hot Springs Village (71909)
Hot Springs Village is the largest gated community in the country, spread across more than 26,000 acres of the Ouachita foothills, and that unusual setup shapes everything about buying gas here. The Village is a residential, active-adult world of golf courses and lakes with relatively few commercial pumps inside the gates, so fuel options are limited compared to an ordinary town its size.
Highway 7 is the lifeline. It runs through the area and along it you will find the main stations, including 24-hour stops near the Village entrances. Residents and visitors lean on these because the alternative is a longer drive down Highway 7 toward Hot Springs to reach the denser, more competitive station cluster.
If you live in or are visiting the Village, it is often worth combining a fill-up with a trip out for other errands, since the stations farther down Highway 7 toward the city tend to be cheaper than the few serving the gated community directly. The convenience of the in-Village pumps comes with a small premium, so a quick price check before you fill can save a few cents.

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.
