Finding cheap gas in Tucson (85719)
This is University of Arizona territory, the dense student belt around a campus of some 40,000 that stretches north of Speedway and south to Sixth Street, where many of the old single-family homes are rented to students. The neighborhoods like West University, Rincon Heights, and Feldman's give the area a walk-and-bike rhythm that holds down driving.
Speedway Boulevard and Campbell Avenue are the major corridors, with Park Avenue and Euclid feeding the campus edges. Fuel demand here ebbs and flows with the academic calendar, dropping over summer break and spiking when students return.
Because so much campus-area travel happens on foot, bike, or transit, fuel competition is shaped by the busy Speedway and Campbell corners rather than highway ramps. A quick comparison along those two arteries is the reliable way to find the cheapest gas.

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.
