Finding cheap gas in Tucson (85714)
The south side around South 12th Avenue holds what may be the densest concentration of Sonoran-Mexican food anywhere in the country, a strip of carne asada trucks, raspados stands, and family taquerias that has defined this part of Tucson for generations. The neighborhood pulses with local life rather than highway commerce.
South 6th Avenue and South 12th Avenue are the main commercial runs, and Interstate 10 cuts along the western edge with ramps that bring in some through traffic. The stations near those I-10 exits and along the 6th Avenue corridor see the most volume and often post the keenest prices.
This is a working, established side of town where price matters to the people filling up daily, which keeps the local stations honest. A look across the 6th Avenue and freeway-adjacent stops is the quickest way to find a low fill here.

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.
