How to save more on gas in Tucson
1. Use warehouse clubs

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.
