Nevada Gas Price FAQ
Why is Vegas gas expensive despite Nevada's lower tax?
Las Vegas is a long distance from major refineries with no direct pipeline access, meaning fuel must be trucked in. The city's massive tourism economy also supports higher margins at stations catering to rental car customers who don't comparison shop.
Where is the cheapest gas in Las Vegas?
Costco on the outskirts of the metro and Smith's Fuel Centers are consistently cheapest. Stations on the Strip and in tourist areas are among the most expensive in the state.
