How to save more on gas in Salem
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 Oregon
Oregon's state gas tax is around 38 cents per gallon, plus a clean fuels program that adds a few additional cents to support emissions reductions. The state has no in-state refining capacity and pulls supply from BP Cherry Point and HollyFrontier Anacortes refineries in Washington plus barge shipments. Until 2023, Oregon was one of two states (the other being New Jersey) that restricted self-service gasoline statewide. The state legislature relaxed the rule in 2023 to allow self-service across most counties. Portland, Eugene, and Salem see relatively competitive pricing. Costco (in Portland and Eugene), Fred Meyer (Kroger), Safeway, and Sam's Club lead on value across Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Bend metros. Eastern Oregon (Bend, Pendleton) typically runs 10 to 20 cents above the Willamette Valley due to longer supply distances.
