Finding cheap gas in Fontana (92336)
North Fontana is where the city climbs toward the San Gabriel foothills, and that geography shapes where the cheap fuel is. The hillside tracts around Hunter's Ridge, Sierra Lakes, and the master-planned subdivisions off Sierra Lakes Parkway are newer and residential, so the stations cluster down where the traffic is: along the Sierra Avenue and Summit Avenue arteries and near the Interstate 15 and Route 210 interchanges.
The 15 runs diagonally through this corner of Fontana on its way up the Cajon Pass, and stations near the on-ramps tend to read the long-haul and Vegas-bound demand into their posted price. If you are filling for a daily commute rather than a road trip, the pumps a little deeper into the retail corridors near Sierra Lakes and the shopping centers usually beat the ramp prices.
This is San Bernardino County, so prices sit a few cents under coastal Orange and LA County for the same brands, which is one reason Fontana drivers rarely chase fuel across the county line. Comparing two or three stations along Sierra before you settle in is worth more here than picking by brand.

How to save more on gas in Fontana
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.
