Finding cheap gas in Tucson (85716)
The Sam Hughes historic district gives this central Tucson ZIP its character, a square mile of 1920s through 1950s homes in Mission Revival, Pueblo Revival, and Craftsman styles, many designed by the city's celebrated architect Josias Joesler. Himmel Park sits at its center, and the University of Arizona is just to the west.
El Con Center, the open-air power center on Broadway at Alvernon, anchors the retail and traffic here, with Country Club Road and Speedway Boulevard carrying the rest of the flow. Stations gather near El Con and along Speedway, where the volume keeps pricing reasonably competitive.
As a midtown area close to campus, this ZIP serves residents and students rather than highway traffic. Comparing the Broadway stations near El Con against those on Speedway is usually enough to beat the average 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.
