Ouch! thats gonna hurt.

 

[Born 2 Fish]

I can see that happening.

 

[fla4fun]

If it does, I'll be sleeping at the office a couple nights a week because I can't afford the commute anymore! I've done everything possible to increase my mileage, so it will be time to cut back on the miles themselves.

Marty, the $5.69 that was reported was out near the airport - catching rental car returns. It was ONE station not typical; don't let anyone scare ya unnecessarily. We have found that the Hess station on Disney property has usually been some of the best pricing.

I have typically found it best to check several of the gas price index sites (such as GasBuddy.com, gasprices on Mapquest or gaspricewatch.com) to get a good accurate consensus.

We head out on Thursday or Friday for WDW so I'm watching the prices also.

unfortuinetly Ill be staying alone the interstates for fuel, wiht a 33 ft RV and pulling a car dolly with the mini car, my options are limited for maneuvering around

Average price in Orlando area is around $3.70. There is ONE station gouging people and he is located next to the car rental returns by the airport. That station was $5.69

Yep, totally understand the maneuvering around in gas stations. We have a Class A and dinghy tow so we have to be careful since there's no backing up a dinghy. That's why I use the gas price web sites to check out the prices along the upcoming exits. We generally fill up at the Hess on Disney property (by the car care center not the one at DTD) since it's on the way out and they are usually fair in prices and it's big rig friendly.

Ill keep that in mind for sure!

Gas hits 4.50 and the highways will be more big rig friendly. Should be far less traffic. The Fort will be less crowded also. Mostly locals I'm guessing.

 

[Goofyseven]

Nope, It is really Bushs fault. He is so powerful he can still control gas prices like he did in 2007, at least that's what the media claimed he did back then, so he must be doing it now.

After all, there is no mention of our current president having anything to do with the price of gas.

He even took credit for this country producing the highest level of gas ever in 2009. After only one year in office. Wow, what he can do with gas in only one year.
