Driving? Get Gas in GA!

[D&DDisney]

Just got back from a long drive to Disney from WI and I would highly recommend filling up before you enter FL . The prices in GA were about $1.85 - 1.96/gal vs. Florida which will charge you about $2.30-2.40/gal. The cheapest gas in Fl was actually on the Disney grounds - go figure???

Good to know! Thanks!

Regular gas is around the $2.00-$2.10 mark here in the Orlando area. Unless you are filling up around a tourist area prices have been dropping.

The fill-ups I am referring to are just over the GA/FL boarder. We unfortunately needed to fill up and decided to wait until we got into FL. Bad move! Every station off the interstate was at least $2.25/gal and kept getting higher as we went further south. If you need gas on the interstate - fill that tank to the max in GA!!
A few stations in Orlando were better, but the cheapest was still Hess on Disney grounds at $2.02. Lake Buena Vista area comes in around $2.30.

On a more general note,

its amazing here in Michigan how much gas has been fluxuating. One day its $2.40 and the next its $1.95! Its crazy

As of Friday, the Hess station off of I4 at Fairbanks Ave was 1.99. I would imagine that if the on property Hess stations have dropped in price , that this one has too!

What I don't understand is WHY the price fluxuates on a daily basis. The station has already bought and paid for the gas...

I know, I think its all about working the stats. They figure a certain number of people buy gas everyday. The days that the most people buy, are probibly the days they will raise the prices.

Thanks for the advice, GA it is

We always take I-75. We've consistently found the lowest prices in GA at Exit 5. I believe it's a Speedway station. It's just east of I-75 on the north side of the road.

Speedway is owned by Marathon.
