Finding cheap gas in Pocatello (83202)
This northern Pocatello ZIP actually wraps around Chubbuck, the fast-growing city just north of Pocatello, and together they form the largest retail hub in southeast Idaho. The commercial heart runs along Yellowstone Avenue near Pine Ridge Mall and the big-box cluster of Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, and Lowe's, all of it sitting close to where I-15 and I-86 meet.
That interstate crossroads and the wall of major retailers make for a genuinely competitive fuel market. The warehouse and grocery stations along Yellowstone draw steady volume from both cities, and their per-gallon prices, especially with a Costco membership, are usually the cheapest in the area by a comfortable margin.
Yellowstone Avenue is where you want to be comparing prices, since the density of stations there keeps everyone honest. Drivers about to jump on I-15 toward Salt Lake City or I-86 toward the west do well to fill in this retail belt before leaving the metro, where prices climb at the rural stops.

How to save more on gas in Pocatello
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 Idaho
Idaho is part of PADD 4 (Rocky Mountain) and pulls fuel from refineries in Salt Lake City and Billings, with prices that closely track Wyoming and Montana rather than the West Coast. The state gas tax is around 32 cents per gallon. Boise sees the lowest pricing in the state, with Costco, Sam's Club, Stinker Stores, and Maverik competing aggressively. North Idaho (Coeur d'Alene, Sandpoint) typically prices closer to Spokane Washington pricing due to shared distribution networks. Eastern Idaho near the Wyoming and Utah borders sometimes runs 5 to 15 cents below the Treasure Valley because of refinery proximity and lower local taxes.
