Finding cheap gas in Fresno (93710)
This is north Fresno's Bullard area, a flat residential grid about eight miles up from downtown that stretches across roughly 15 square miles toward the San Joaquin River bluffs. It sits between Highway 99 to the west and Highway 41 to the east, and those two freeways give drivers here a genuine choice that the stations near each set of ramps are well aware of.
Bullard Avenue, Barstow Avenue, and West Avenue carry most of the daily traffic and most of the fuel competition. There are enough rooftops in this part of town to support several brands within a short drive, so a station that posts a high number rarely keeps it for long while a cheaper one sits a few blocks away.
As a Central Valley city, Fresno prices well under the big coastal metros, so the real question in 93710 is local. A station catering to drivers merging onto 41 will often run a dime more than a grocery pad set back into the neighborhood, and a moment spent comparing the two usually pays off.

How to save more on gas in Fresno
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.
