Finding cheap gas in Sedona (86336)
Few towns price fuel quite like Sedona's uptown core, where the red-rock tourist trade lets stations hold a premium that out-of-towners simply pay. The handful of stations near the famous 'Y' junction, where State Route 89A meets SR-179, are some of the priciest you will encounter anywhere in northern Arizona, and the views do the marketing.
There is no cheap freeway alternative to fall back on. Sedona sits well off the interstate, so the nearest real price relief means a drive: south to the Village of Oak Creek, or down the switchbacks of 89A toward Cottonwood and the Verde Valley, both of which run well under the uptown stations.
For visitors that gap is just the cost of the scenery. Residents, though, tend to plan around it, topping off in Cottonwood while running errands before climbing back up 89A rather than buying at the canyon-view pumps. Even within uptown, the stations a short way out West 89A toward the edge of town generally undercut the ones right at the busy junction.

How to save more on gas in Sedona
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.
