bord1niowa......Curt 79 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 They just had a news show and they showed an Orlando gas station with prices that included $5.69 a gallon??? Please tell me it ain't so!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Otter Spotter aka Debbie 58 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Did they say where in Orlando? The average price should be around $3.73 - give or take. That's still way too much! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parrothead7368 aka Norm 101 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 It'd probably one near the airport so rental people are stuck filling up there. There was a article on it about a month ago.Best Regards,Norm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bord1niowa......Curt 79 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 No, they didn't say where, just "this Orlando gas station is at $5.69" and they showed the signage with it on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bord1niowa......Curt 79 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I was in too much shock to notice the type. It was the top of 3 on the sign. Ususally gas?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JCJRSmith 6 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 http://www.orlandogasprices.com/Suncoast_Energys_Gas_Stations/Orlando_-_SE/60436/index.aspxYep - this knucklehead is running over $5.50 per gallon in Orlando, just north of the airport. That being said, average in the Orlando area is $3.75 per gallon, even less than a mile from this price-gouging prick. :wiz: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AuburnJen 771 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 This is the guy that is right next to the car rental places. He takes advantage of the people who don't want the rental car people taking advantage of them. :purpleflam: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MicknMin...Holly 54 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 How does he get away with this? It is clearly price-gouging. A few years back, we had a bunch of stations around here that were caught price-gouging and they had to pay huge fines. This guy should be fined too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Ya know, I know how he gets away with it, he's right next to the rental car places. Most folks who rent cars are on business trips, and get reimbursed for gas. Now I know Orlando has a lot of tourists, but they probably do check around. The business folks don't. They are tired, been in crappy meetings all day, and just want to get rid of that stupid car that is NOTHING like what they drive at home, get to the airport and GO HOME!! I know when I was in and out of Dulles a lot earlier this year, I went to the gas station right next to the Hertz place right there ON Dulles airport. I didn't look at the price, I just filled up, stuffed the receipt in the envelope in my computer bag and filled out my expense report when I got home. It could have been .99 cents a gallon, or $5 a gallon, I really don't know, and don't care. That is the way MOST business travelers are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis 105 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 There is a station on 535 right before you get on I4 that was always about 75 cents higher than everyone else. They didn't even have prices on their sign last time I went by. It is not price gouging if your prices are ALWAYS high. You can't just suddenly go up because of a hurricane or something.

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 It is not price gouging if your prices are ALWAYS high.Just not illegal price gouging :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Total Joker ... TJ 203 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Why! One country says we cant deliver, others say we will meet supply, and they still price gouge the hell out of us! double F-ing standard! :rofl2:That is all... :rofl2: :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
