Finding cheap gas in Colorado Springs (80911)
The 80911 ZIP is Security-Widefield, the unincorporated stretch of El Paso County wedged between Colorado Springs and Fountain. Its character is shaped by the military: Fort Carson sits right alongside, and a big share of residents are service members and their families, many of them watching every dollar on a fixed paycheck.
That cost-conscious crowd, paired with quick access to I-25, Academy Boulevard, and Highway 85/87, keeps the local stations competitive. The busier corridors near the Fort Carson gates and along Fountain Boulevard tend to hold the better prices, since they're feeding a constant flow of commuters heading on and off post.
Plenty of residents fuel up on or near base, but the grocery and warehouse pumps along Academy and Fountain Boulevard often beat the standalone stations. With several brands within a short drive, it's an easy area to keep a regular cheap stop.

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).
