Finding cheap gas in Anchorage (99517)
Spenard gives 99517 its character, a quirky older corridor of bars, dive diners, and small shops strung along Spenard Road between Midtown and the airport, with the quiet Turnagain neighborhood and the Lake Hood floatplane base filling out the west side. It is one of Anchorage's most distinctive districts, and its fuel scene reflects the mix.
Spenard Road and Northern Lights carry the bulk of the traffic, and the stations there serve a steady flow of locals, airport workers, and pilots topping off vehicles between runs at the busiest seaplane base in the world. Because Midtown's competitive cluster sits right next door, prices in 99517 rarely drift far from the city's middle, which works in residents' favor.
Turnagain drivers tucked back toward the coast often find it easiest to catch a Spenard or Northern Lights station on their way in or out, since the corners nearest the airport terminal tend to run a touch higher on the strength of departing-traveler traffic.

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.
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.
