Finding cheap gas in Buckeye (85326)
This is the original Buckeye, the older town core south of I-10 where the community started before the master-planned boom arrived. Buckeye has become one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, but 85326 still holds the established downtown grid and the agricultural fringe around it, so its station mix is a blend of long-standing stops and newer development.
The fuel competition concentrates around the I-10 interchanges and the main commercial roads like MC-85 and Watson Road, where travelers on the interstate meet the local shopping traffic. Those ramp-adjacent and big-box stations tend to anchor pricing, since I-10 carries heavy through-traffic between Phoenix and the California desert.
Buckeye is the last sizable town on I-10 before a long, empty run west toward the Colorado River, so a lot of drivers top off here. If you are about to head west, it is smart to fill in Buckeye, and worth comparing the stations a little off the freeway against the ones right at the ramps, because the in-town pumps sometimes beat the interchange stops by several cents.

How to save more on gas in Buckeye
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.
