Finding cheap gas in Windsor (80550)
Windsor has become one of northern Colorado's fastest-growing towns, sitting in the triangle between Fort Collins, Loveland, and Greeley with Highway 392 running through its center and the city limits pushing west toward I-25. That rapid growth means new shopping and new stations are still filling in, especially on the western edge near the interstate.
The fuel options concentrate along Highway 392 and Main Street and out toward the I-25 interchange, where the newer retail clusters. Stations near that interchange catch traffic moving between the three surrounding cities, while the in-town stations serve the growing residential core.
Because Windsor's drivers regularly commute to Fort Collins or Greeley, many top off when they're already on 392 or near the interstate. As the town keeps adding stations, the newer ones out by the interchange and the older ones in the center trade the title of cheapest fill from month to month.

How to save more on gas in Windsor
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).
