Finding cheap gas in Tucson (85706)
South Tucson around the airport is the city's aerospace and logistics flank, home to Tucson International Airport, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, and the Raytheon missile plant. That concentration of shift workers and travelers keeps fuel demand steady on roads like Valencia and Tucson Boulevard well outside normal rush hours.
The area has strong access to both Interstate 10 and Interstate 19, and the stations near those interchanges and along Valencia Road catch the heaviest flow. Truck and travel traffic off the freeways means several of these stops price competitively for through drivers.
Because this side of town blends commuter, military, and highway demand, prices can vary noticeably from one corridor to the next. Comparing the I-19 and Valencia stations against the airport-area stops is the practical way to find the cheapest fill.

How to save more on gas in Tucson
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.
