The 99504 ZIP code covers part of Anchorage, Alaska's largest city with nearly 40 percent of the state's population. Gas prices here tend to run higher than the lower 48 states due to Alaska's remote location and transportation costs for fuel. Prices at stations throughout Anchorage update regularly and can vary significantly between locations, so checking current rates before filling up makes sense.

How to save more on gas in Anchorage

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 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.
