Finding cheap gas in Bend (97702)
South Bend stretches from the Old Mill District down toward Sunriver, a high-desert zone on the Deschutes River where the old lumber-mill grounds have become the city's signature shopping and dining quarter. Highway 97, the Bend Parkway, runs the length of it and is the corridor that sets the tone for local fuel prices.
Bend's location east of the Cascades means it draws heavy seasonal traffic headed to Mount Bachelor and the recreation country, and the stations strung along the Highway 97 business route catch much of that flow. Weekends and ski season can pull demand up noticeably as visitors fuel on the way in and out of town.
Oregon's state gas tax, among the higher rates in the country at 40 cents a gallon, sits underneath every price here, and a measure on the May 2026 ballot proposed raising it further still.
Away from the parkway, in the Old Farm District and the wooded neighborhoods off Brookswood, pumps are sparser. For the better deal it usually pays to compare the Highway 97 stations rather than settling for the closest one in a residential pocket.

How to save more on gas in Bend
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.
