Finding cheap gas in Poway (92064)
Poway calls itself the City in the Country, and the description fits: this San Diego County town keeps a rural, low-density character even as a long commercial strip runs through its middle. Poway Road is the main artery, carrying nearly all the city's shopping and fuel from one end to the other.
Because the town is spread out and sits three miles east of Interstate 15, stations are not on every corner. Most of the fuel demand funnels onto Poway Road and the pumps near the major shopping centers, so that corridor is where drivers find their realistic choices.
San Diego County prices run high, and Poway's limited number of stations means it pays to fill while you are already out on Poway Road rather than near home. Heading east toward Highway 67 and the backcountry, the options thin quickly, so topping off in town first is the sensible play.

How to save more on gas in Poway
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 California
California has the highest gas taxes in the nation at roughly 60 cents per gallon when you combine the state excise tax with the cap-and-trade program and underground storage fee. The state requires a special CARB-formulated fuel that only a handful of in-state refineries can produce, so a single refinery outage can spike prices statewide within 48 hours. Costco, Sam's Club, and Arco are typically the cheapest across Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Sacramento metros, while Chevron, Shell, and 76 dominate freeway exits. Stations along Interstate 5 and US 101 commonly run 10 to 20 cents higher than equivalent stations a mile off the freeway.
