Finding cheap gas in Vancouver (98663)
This is central and near-north Vancouver, the older established part of the city around the Uptown Village stretch of Main Street, sitting just above downtown and east of the I-5 corridor. The street grid here is residential and historic, so fuel concentrates on the through streets like Main and Fourth Plain rather than in the side neighborhoods.
The cross-river math still governs spending. With Washington's gas tax and carbon charge among the steepest in the country and Oregon's tax notably lower just across the Columbia, a lot of 98663 drivers fold a fill-up into errands already taking them into Portland.
For local top-offs, the busier stations along Fourth Plain Boulevard and the arterials feeding I-5 tend to price more sharply than the smaller corner stops. A quick price check across two or three of them is the easy win in this part of town.

How to save more on gas in Vancouver
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 Washington
Washington's gas tax sits around 49 cents per gallon, third-highest in the nation, plus the state's Climate Commitment Act adds a few additional cents to fund emissions reductions. Refining capacity is concentrated in the Anacortes-Cherry Point corridor north of Seattle, and the state is part of PADD 5 (West Coast), which often experiences supply tightness due to limited pipeline connections to Midwest fuel. Costco (founded near Seattle), Sam's Club, Fred Meyer, and Safeway fuel are the most reliable for value across the Puget Sound metro and Spokane.
