Finding cheap gas in Littleton (80123)
The Bowles Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard crossroads is the commercial anchor here, with Southwest Plaza mall, big surrounding retail, and Clement Park all within the same few square miles. Stations gather around that retail core and along the Wadsworth and Bowles arterials, which keeps a healthy number of pumps competing for the same suburban traffic.
This corner of Littleton sits in eastern Jefferson County, just nudging into Arapahoe County at its edges, in the gridded suburbs southwest of Denver. Prices generally sit close to the metro average, and the stations buried in the residential pockets off the main roads tend to post a little higher than the ones out on Bowles or Wadsworth where everyone can comparison-shop at a glance.
Colorado's state fuel tax is among the lower ones in the country, which helps keep Front Range pump prices below the national figure in most weeks. Local averages move with the refinery and pipeline supply feeding the Denver market, so a regional outage can nudge prices up faster than the rest of the country sees.

How to save more on gas in Littleton
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).
