Finding cheap gas in Phoenix (85020)
Sunnyslope gives 85020 its distinct, small-town-within-the-city personality, an older North Phoenix community tucked below the North Mountain preserves with its hillside S still visible for miles. The terrain is uneven and the street grid older, so fuel concentrates on the main through-roads rather than the climbing residential lanes.
Cave Creek Road, Hatcher, Dunlap, and 7th Street and 7th Avenue carry the bulk of the traffic and the stations. Those busy corridors tend to compete more sharply than the scattered pumps in the neighborhoods, and they are the place to look for the best posted price.
Sunnyslope's older, working-class stretch tends to run a little cheaper than the polished corridors further north toward Moon Valley, which is worth knowing if you live nearby. Cave Creek Road is the neighborhood's true main street, and the stations along it see enough everyday traffic to stay reasonable.

How to save more on gas in Phoenix
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 Arizona
Arizona's gas tax is roughly 18 cents per gallon, among the lowest in the country, and the state benefits from short pipeline distances to Los Angeles and El Paso refineries. The Phoenix metro requires reformulated gasoline (CBG, the Cleaner Burning Gasoline blend) from May through September to meet ozone standards, which usually prices about 5 to 10 cents above the rest of the state. Tucson, Flagstaff, and Yuma typically run noticeably cheaper. Costco, Sam's Club, Fry's Food (Kroger), and QuikTrip lead on value across Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff metros.
