Finding cheap gas in Vancouver (98665)
Hazel Dell grew up as a farming stretch north of Vancouver proper, and today it is a busy suburban band straddling old Highway 99 between the city and the Salmon Creek area near I-5. Highway 99 is the retail spine, and that is where the fuel lives, with a steady run of stations serving both Hazel Dell residents and traffic moving between Vancouver and the north county.
Volume works in a driver's favor here. The 99 corridor sees enough turnover that stations compete more openly than they do in the quieter Vancouver pockets, and the warehouse-club and grocery fuel in the broader Salmon Creek trade area gives Hazel Dell drivers a lower-cost option a short drive up the road.
Even so, Washington's heavy fuel-tax load sets the floor. Some Hazel Dell drivers still time a Portland errand to fill in Oregon, where the gas tax runs lower, but for everyday fills the 99 stations are convenient and worth comparing two or three at a time.

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.
