Finding cheap gas in San Bernardino (92407)
Cal State San Bernardino and the long climb toward the Cajon Pass define the northern reaches of this ZIP, where University Parkway and the I-215 freeway carry students, commuters, and a steady stream of traffic heading up toward Devore and the high desert beyond.
Kendall Drive and University Parkway form the main retail spine near the campus, and that is where the most competitive cluster of stations sits, feeding off student and northbound-commuter demand. Down toward the Highland Avenue and I-215 interchange, you pick up another batch of options serving cross-town drivers.
This is the last real stretch of city before I-215 starts the grade into the Cajon Pass on the way to Victorville and Las Vegas. Drivers know that fuel gets scarcer and pricier once you are climbing, so filling up near the Kendall or University Parkway stations before the ascent is the sensible move rather than waiting for a pass-side station.

How to save more on gas in San Bernardino
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.
