Finding cheap gas in Livermore (94551)
North Livermore is home to the Costco on Independence Drive just off Interstate 580 and Airway Boulevard, and that warehouse-club fuel is the strongest price anchor in the area. Members fill there well under the going Tri-Valley rate, and the nearby San Francisco Premium Outlets and the cluster of stations off the 580 ramps all feel its pull.
Interstate 580 runs along the northern edge of Livermore on its way over the Altamont Pass toward the Central Valley, and the stations near the Airway and First Street interchanges price for that heavy commuter and trucking flow. This northern, freeway-and-outlet side of town is more commercial than the wine-country south, so it carries most of the area's fuel options.
Tri-Valley prices run high like the rest of the Bay Area, which makes the Costco floor genuinely useful here. Members do best filling at the warehouse pumps, and non-members benefit from the competition it forces on the surrounding 580-adjacent stations, so comparing those corners is worthwhile before you head over the Altamont.

How to save more on gas in Livermore
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.
