Finding cheap gas in Colorado Springs (80918)
The University of Colorado Colorado Springs sits on Austin Bluffs Parkway in the middle of this ZIP, and the campus, with the Ent Center for the Arts, shapes a chunk of the local traffic. Academy Boulevard, Union Boulevard, and Austin Bluffs all cross through here in a busy lattice of retail and student-oriented stops, giving the area heavy station density.
This is north-central Colorado Springs, built out mostly through the 1970s and 1980s, with University Park and a deep run of shopping centers along Academy. The student population and the commuter flow on these arterials keep competition lively, so prices land in the affordable part of the city range.
Grocery-rewards fuel and the high-volume stations along Academy or Union are the smart picks. With UCCS driving steady demand, comparing two or three nearby stations is usually enough to find the lower posted price before you fill.

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).
