Finding cheap gas in Aurora (80016)
Southlands, the big open-air shopping center southeast of E-470, sets the tone for this newer, master-planned stretch of Aurora, where Saddle Rock and the Cherry Creek school zone draw families to relatively recent construction. The fuel stations cluster around the mall, the E-470 ramps, and the major intersections, since the subdivisions themselves spread out across former prairie.
Sitting on the far southeastern edge of the metro against the toll road, this area sees a mix of local shopping trips and through-traffic feeding onto E-470 toward the airport and the south suburbs. That tollway access nudges the ramp-adjacent stations to price for travelers, while the Southlands-area pumps compete for the steady retail crowd.
Costco and the warehouse-style fuel near the shopping district are the value play here, often a solid margin below the convenience-store corners. Given how spread out this ZIP is, it is worth checking the Southlands cluster before driving deeper into the neighborhoods, where pumps thin out fast.

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).
