Finding cheap gas in Aurora (80011)
The Fitzsimons and north-Aurora area runs along the I-225 corridor and the Anschutz Medical Campus, where the University of Colorado Hospital, Children's Hospital Colorado, and the VA medical center anchor a fast-growing cluster of transit-oriented housing and hotels. All that hospital and visitor traffic gives stations near Colfax and the Fitzsimons Parkway interchange steadier demand.
Stretching north toward Montview and the East 6th Avenue corridor, 80011 mixes older residential pockets with newer apartment development, so station density stays solid along the main arterials. Drivers headed to or from Denver International often pass through here, and the freeway-adjacent stops price with one eye on that through-traffic.
Grocery-rewards fuel and the higher-volume stations away from the hospital campus tend to give the better number. If you are visiting a patient or commuting on I-225, checking a station a few blocks off the interchange usually beats filling right at the ramp.

How to save more on gas in Aurora
1. Use warehouse clubs
Costco and Sam’s Club typically price 15-25 cents per gallon below nearby stations. Membership pays for itself within a few fill-ups.
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.
5. Pay cash at split-pricing stations
Stations with cash and credit split pricing typically save an average of 10 cents per gallon when you pay cash.

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).
