How to save more on gas in Little Rock

2. Fill up early in the week

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.
