Richmond’s fuel market runs down the middle of Lulu Island: the No. 3 Road spine and its cross streets — Alderbridge, Westminster Highway, Blundell, Steveston Highway — carry most of the city’s stations, with a second cluster out toward Steveston village. Prices generally sit between Vancouver’s and Surrey’s: cheaper than the city core across the bridges, but without Surrey’s discount density to drag the floor down.
The one corridor to treat with suspicion is the airport approach. Stations on Grant McConachie Way and the last pumps before YVR price for rental-car returns and departing travellers, not for locals — filling on No. 3 Road or Bridgeport Road instead of at the airport routinely saves several cents per litre on the same brand. The list below ranks every Richmond station we track by current price, refreshed hourly; confirm at the pump before fuelling.
