$5.99/gal for regular. More than twice the price on Disney property.

If it is anything like out here in California, it is that they make the bulk of their money from the convenience store and are legally required to sell gasoline. The problem out here is if they sell over a certain volume, they have to upgrade their pumps and fuel delivery system every so many years and it is too costly, so they meet the legal requirements by selling gas at an outrageous price to try to avoid selling gas.

That actually makes sense.

That is exactly what I have heard.

WOW..thats still going on. I pulled in there about 5 years ago - I laughed and left. Certain that that place would be out of business soon. Guess I was wrong. That's an awful lot of cigs, beer, and ice cream sandwiches they must be selling.

They eece the tourists that don't know better.
