Overpriced fuel
Just a warning to watch out for over priced fuel. As most on here would usually have a car and fill up certainly before heading back to the airport just be mindful what you should be paying. There is a station on the 192 east, just down from lake Wilson road which is about 3.69 a gallon which we avoid but worse still is the Shell station on Vineland road, just down from the outlet stores in Lake Buenavista. I nearly got caught out here last Thursday, didn't pay attention to the cost ( it is clearly shown). I was just about to pay for my fuel at the desk when an American guy came steaming in absolutely furious about the fact he had paid 5.99 a gallon. When I questioned the cashier on the price he just shrugged and said its because of the location. I took my money and went round the corner to a 7/11 station and paid 2.17 a gallon. A quick internet search shows up this garage as one of the worst offenders in overpricing, not just in Orlando but the whole of America

been caught at the Vineland road one before - as have many other Dibbers. However, once bitten twice shy.

This place on Vineland is well known on here. Been like it for years.
