The cheapest gas in Poway can be found for $3.63 per gallon at the ARCO at 12805 Poway Rd. or Costco on Tech Center Drive.

Further increases to the pump price are expected because of climbing prices for wholesale gasoline and crude oil stemming from concerns that a U.S. military attack in Syria could lead to a disruption in the flow of oil from the Middle East.
