Finding cheap gas in Aurora (80010)
Original Aurora, the city's oldest core along East Colfax Avenue, packs a lot of independent and lower-cost stations into a tight, transit-served grid right next to the Anschutz Medical Campus. This is one of the better-priced corners of metro Denver, helped by dense competition and a working-class customer base that shops hard on price.
Colfax itself is the spine, lined with older stations that turn over fuel quickly, and the immigrant-owned markets and independents through here often post some of the lower numbers on the east side. The R Line light rail spanning Colfax near Fitzsimons keeps foot traffic high, but it is the sheer station count that keeps pumps honest.
For drivers near the medical campus or the Stanley Marketplace area, it usually pays to skip the first corner station and check a couple of Colfax options within a few blocks. The spread between neighboring stations can be real, and this ZIP rewards a quick look.

How to save more on gas in Aurora
1. Use warehouse clubs

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.

About gas prices in Colorado
Colorado's state gas tax is around 22 cents per gallon, and the Front Range corridor draws fuel from the Suncor refinery in Commerce City plus pipeline supply from Wyoming and Salt Lake City. The state requires an oxygenated winter blend from November through February at high-altitude metros, which adds 5 to 10 cents per gallon during those months. King Soopers (Kroger), Costco, and Sam's Club are the dependable cheap options across Denver, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins. Mountain resort towns (Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge) typically run 30 to 50 cents above Front Range averages due to long supply hauls and limited local competition (no Costco or Sam's Club within 50 miles of Aspen).
