Finding cheap gas in San Diego (92114)
Encanto spreads across the hilly southeastern part of San Diego, a largely residential set of communities where Imperial Avenue and Euclid Avenue do the commercial heavy lifting. This is a neighborhood ZIP without a major freeway running through its core, so the stations follow those surface arterials.
Euclid Avenue is the corridor to scan first, particularly where it meets Imperial Avenue and the routes feeding toward the trolley stations. Fuel retail here serves daily local traffic rather than travelers, which means prices generally sit in line with the broader southeastern San Diego market.
If you are heading toward Highway 94 or down into the South Bay, it is often worth filling along Euclid or Imperial first. The stations are spread out enough in this part of the city that a little planning beats hoping the next intersection has a competitive option.

How to save more on gas in San Diego
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.
