Finding cheap gas in San Jose (95123)
Blossom Valley grew out of the orchards that once blanketed the southern end of the Santa Clara Valley, and today it is one of South San Jose's big, established residential districts, a grid of postwar and later homes laced together by Blossom Hill Road, Snell Avenue, and Santa Teresa Boulevard. Those arterials are where the gas stations sit, and the heavy local traffic keeps a solid number of them competing.
Smart shoppers here lean on the high-volume options. The membership warehouse and grocery-brand fuel on the fringes of the area tend to beat the standalone corner stations, and it is worth the short hop to reach one. California's fuel taxes and its unique cleaner-burning blend push Bay Area prices among the highest in the country, so in 95123 the gap between the cheapest pump on Blossom Hill and the priciest can be worth a deliberate detour.

How to save more on gas in San Jose
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.
