You can take a look at gasbuddy.com and it shows gas prices at stations all across the country. I used this site before heading off to WDW in June.

Well as far as gas near WDW the 3 Hess stations on property have the best prices especially compared to the stations just off property. The Chevron that is located at the Gate at the end of Hotel plaza Blvd runs anywhere from 30 to 50 cents per gallon higher than the Hess stations on property.

Just got back from DW on Saturday. The Hess station near the Boardwalk was about $2.77/gallon - almost the cheapest we found on our trip from VA.

right now ... the price is anywhere from $2.77 (Race-Trac) to $2.85 (7-11) in the Kissimmee area ... if you have a BJ's Wholesale Club member card, they have a club that's about 10 mins away from WDW on Osceola parkway and they are at $2.72

I am from Orlando, but am currently doing an Internship in Houston (I like your city by the way), and can tell you that it seemed to be much cheaper here in Houston that it was in Florida...avoid the gas stations that are right on the beaten path (disney's Hess, ALL of them on I Drive) and you should get it considerably cheaper. I would just fuel up outside the city and once you are inside "disney limits" transportation in your car is not very necessary....hope it helps

The lowest gas price in the state of Florida is $2.71 at a Sam's club in Spring Hill. The lowest reported fuel price in Orlando is $2.74 at the Citgo at US 17-92 next to Auto Zone. The HESS across from DTD, at The Boardwalk and at the car care center at MK are all at $2.76. So where are you buying gas that makes the HESS stations at seem WDW pricey?:veryconfu

I have gotten gas there only twice (sometimes between January and March) and both times the prices were 10 cents higher than the 3 gas stations right near UCF (about 30 mins away)..it was my only comparison since thats where I live...but was 100 percent higher at the HESS (at least my 2 visits...who knows maybe a CM was having a bad day and decided to jack the prices just to spite us)..no, but in all honesty sorry if I gave you a bad bit of advice..just going off of what I have seen living in Orlando and going there once a week.

No harm no foul. Gas prices can vary so widely (which always makes me wonder about gouging)it is hard to keep track. I drive about the same distance (30 minutes) to work and the gas prices in my neighborhood are on average 10 to 20 cents a gallon cheaper than next to my office. In the realm of WDW the Chevron on 535 is 62 cents a gallon higher than the HESS at DTD which is less than half a mile away.

I believe they're contracted to a certain price range/variance, part of the deal to kick exxon mobil off property and bring hess in. When it was exxon mobil, the prices were not that great.
And yeah, I always feel bad for guests that fill up at the 535 chevron, shell, ect. Those prices are TERRIBLE.

The price difference has become so obnoxious that the wife and often have an over under bet on the price difference between the 535 Chevron and the HESS at DTD.
