Drivers in Colorado Springs and across parts of the central United States are seeing a welcome development at the pump, as gasoline prices have dipped below $2.00 per gallon at several locations. According to current data, stations operated by major brands such as Costco, Phillips 66, Shell, and Valero are among those offering some of the lowest prices recorded in recent memory.

In Colorado Springs, Costco is leading the charge with regular unleaded gasoline priced at just $1.84 per gallon. Before taxes, the cost of fuel in Colorado has dropped to $1.38 per gallon—a figure that, when adjusted for inflation, reflects near-historic low levels. The trend is not limited to Colorado; similar sub-$2.00 prices have been reported in Texas and Oklahoma, signaling a broader regional shift.

The average gas price across the central United States currently sits at $2.30 per gallon, according to AAA. This makes the below-$2.00 offerings particularly notable for budget-conscious drivers. The drop in fuel costs is especially impactful for owners of fuel-efficient vehicles, some of which achieve up to 50 miles per gallon, significantly reducing overall transportation expenses.

Gas Buddy, a popular fuel price tracking service, has been actively updating its listings to help consumers locate the lowest prices in their area. The platform has identified numerous stations in Colorado Springs and beyond where prices are well below the national average.

As of now, there is no official indication of how long the reduced prices will last, but motorists are taking advantage of the opportunity while it remains.
