It doesn’t get better at a Suncoast Energy station in Orlando, where drivers are paying $5.79 for a gallon of regular. “Prices over in the Disney World area are much higher than any other place in Florida,” Jessica Brady, AAA spokeswoman, told CBS Tampa, adding that people regularly complain about gas prices in that area.

I was recently in Orlando -- gas stations near convenient locations (the airport and other rental car returns, etc) charged over $5/gallon for gas -- the price wasn't clearly posted (only on the display of the pumps). There was a sign posted to show your FL driver license for the "Florida Discount"...
ReplyDeleteI drove less than a mile in the other direction and paid $3.40/gallon at a 7-Eleven.
Should be criminal..
