Gas prices near 79601

North and east Abilene make up 79601, the older side of the city above I-20 that includes the downtown core and the Abilene Christian University campus. Most of Abilene actually sits inside a loop south of the interstate, so this ZIP has a more established, settled feel than the newer retail growth on the south side.

The fuel options here lean on the through-corridors: I-20 along the northern edge, plus the US 83/84 and old highway routes that have carried traffic through this part of town for decades. Stations near the I-20 ramps price partly for travelers crossing West Texas between Dallas-Fort Worth and Midland, so the in-town pumps a bit off the interstate often post better numbers.

Around the ACU campus you get a steady student-and-staff crowd, but the densest fuel competition is out on the main arterials rather than in the neighborhoods. For the cheapest fill, the grocery and big-box stations tend to beat the convenience stores closest to the highway.
