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.
