How to save more on gas in Anchorage
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.

About gas prices in Alaska
Alaska has the lowest state gas tax in the country at 9 cents per gallon, but consumer prices are typically among the highest because of distribution costs. The Marathon and Petro Star refineries on the Kenai Peninsula supply most of the state, but the road system is so limited that fuel reaches remote communities by barge and air. Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau all see seasonal price swings tied to barge schedules and shipping costs from Pacific Northwest suppliers. Costco in Anchorage typically posts the lowest prices in the state, while Fred Meyer and independent stations dominate Fairbanks and Juneau. Remote villages can see prices double or triple the Anchorage average.
