Finding cheap gas in Scottsdale (85260)
This is Airpark country, home to one of Arizona's largest employment centers, where well over a hundred thousand people commute in each weekday to the offices and hangars around Scottsdale Airport. That daily influx shapes the fuel market here far more than the residents do.
Stations along Raintree Drive, Hayden, and the Greenway-Hayden Loop see heavy commute and lunch-hour demand, and they price with that captive working crowd in mind. The retail node where Loop 101 meets Raintree is the convenient stop but rarely the cheapest one, since the freeway frontage lets it charge a little extra.
People who work the Airpark tend to learn the cheaper corners. Filling up at the grocery-anchored stations a bit south on Hayden or down Scottsdale Road, away from the 101 ramp, usually softens the per-gallon price by a noticeable margin over the interchange pumps. With the planned Raintree Drive extension aimed at easing the congestion that pushes through here, the area's traffic patterns and its busiest fuel corners may shift over the next few years.

How to save more on gas in Scottsdale
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.
