How to save more on gas in Rio Rancho
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 New Mexico
New Mexico has one of the lower state gas taxes in the country at roughly 19 cents per gallon, and the state refines fuel locally at the HollyFrontier Artesia (108,000 barrels per day) and Western Refining Gallup facilities. Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces all see relatively competitive pricing. Costco, Sam's Club, Allsup's (a New Mexico-founded convenience chain), and Smith's Food lead on value across Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces. Northern New Mexico near Colorado occasionally tracks Front Range pricing during refinery turnarounds, while southern New Mexico near the El Paso refining cluster benefits from direct pipeline access and short supply distances. Tribal lands often have separate tax structures that affect pump prices on reservation roads.
