Gas prices near 72701

College-town Fayetteville centers right here, where the University of Arkansas campus sweeps across the western hilltops and Dickson Street runs the entertainment district between the campus and the historic downtown square. Game-day crowds, students, and downtown traffic mean the pumps near campus and the square see steady demand, and they are not where you find the best price.

The stations closest to the university and Dickson Street price for convenience and captive foot traffic. To do better, drivers usually head toward the larger commercial stretches along College Avenue (US-71 Business) or out toward the I-49 interchanges, where competition is tighter and the grocery and warehouse-club fuel pulls the average down.

Fayetteville's terrain is genuinely hilly, and 72701 covers the older, denser core where stations are spread between residential streets and the campus. If you are on the square or near Dickson, a short drive east or south to a busier arterial almost always beats topping off downtown. Compare a couple of stations on College Avenue before you settle, since the spread across town can be worth the extra few minutes.
