Finding cheap gas in Colorado Springs (80909)
Anchored by the Citadel Mall, Memorial Park, and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center, this central-east ZIP is dense, retail-heavy, and one of the busier commercial zones in the city. Platte Avenue and Academy Boulevard cross here in a thick band of shopping centers and fast-food strips, and that retail gravity means stations on every other corner competing hard.
Knob Hill and the older neighborhoods around Palmer Park Boulevard give the area an established, lived-in feel, with plenty of independents and chains alike. The high traffic on Platte and Academy keeps prices honest, so this stretch usually runs among the more affordable in Colorado Springs.
Because the mall and the training center pull constant traffic, the stations near the Citadel and along Platte stay sharp on price, and stacking a grocery fuel reward earns a little more. This is a part of town where you rarely have to drive far to find a fair number.

How to save more on gas in Colorado Springs
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).
