Many drivers across the U.S. are flocking to tribal gas stations as a way to save money, amid high fuel prices during the ongoing Iran conflict.<\/p>\n

In Washington state, one driver said she went out of her way to fill up her car’s gas tank<\/a> on tribal land after noticing a significant price difference.<\/p>\n

“I purposely drove here just for the gas,” traveler Junelle Lewis told The Associated Press while filling up her SUV at a station on the Tulalip Reservation. \u00a0<\/p>\n

‘GAS STATION HEROIN’ BANNED IN ANOTHER STATE AMID NATIONWIDE CRACKDOWNS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Tulalip Tribes is a federally recognized Indian tribe in the mid-Puget Sound region of Washington state, according to its website.<\/p>\n

Lewis paid about 75 cents less per gallon<\/a> than nearby stations, she told AP.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gas prices nationwide<\/a> have risen by more than $1 since late February, reaching an average of about $4.15 per gallon, according to AAA, although prices have been stabilizing somewhat since then.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For some drivers, the savings at tribal stations can add up quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In parts of California and New Mexico, fuel has been reported to cost 50 to 60 cents less per gallon compared to nearby locations.<\/p>\n

The difference often comes down to taxes.<\/p>\n

Tribal gas stations typically do not pay state fuel taxes<\/a> when selling on tribal land, allowing them to offer lower prices in many cases. Federal fuel taxes still apply, but the exemption from state taxes can create a noticeable price gap.<\/p>\n

The U.S. has hundreds of tribally owned gas stations \u2014 many located along major travel routes<\/a>, making them accessible options for drivers looking to cut costs.<\/p>\n

Savings, however, are not guaranteed everywhere.<\/p>\n

Some drivers say the price difference depends heavily on location and state tax rates.<\/p>\n

On Reddit, travelers shared a variety of experiences<\/a>, with some reporting significant savings and others saying the difference was minimal.<\/p>\n

“Filled up on [a reservation] last weekend for $3.50 while the average is around $4,” one user wrote.<\/p>\n

Some drivers said they go out of their way to take advantage of the lower prices.<\/p>\n

“If I can save a buck every two gallons, you bet I am driving out \u2026 to refill,” one user wrote.<\/p>\n

Others noted that in areas with lower fuel taxes, the savings may be smaller or nonexistent.<\/p>\n

“Price isn’t much, if any, better than Costco<\/a>,” one user commented.<\/p>\n

Experts say consumers can benefit from comparing prices<\/a> before filling up, using apps or local knowledge to find cheaper options.<\/p>\n
