Finding cheap gas in Aurora (80012)
Havana Street is the heart of this ZIP, the international business corridor where Korean, Ethiopian, Mexican, and Vietnamese markets and restaurants line the street. It's one of Aurora's older, denser commercial stretches, and that density is good news at the pump: stations sit close together along Havana and the cross streets, so a station that prices high has a competitor in plain sight a block away.
The whole area hugs I-225 and East Colfax, which means plenty of through traffic and plenty of stations fighting for it. Drivers here have real choice within a short radius, and a quick look at two or three corners along Havana, Mississippi, or Alameda usually turns up a few cents a gallon you'd otherwise leave on the table.
Brand stations on the busy arterials tend to track each other closely. The smaller independents tucked off the main corridor are the wildcards, sometimes posting the cheapest number in the neighborhood, sometimes the highest.

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).
