Gas stations from Boston to Orlando?

[Kmygrl73]

I was thinking of buying gas cards for a couple of months so that we have kind of a savings account for gas before our drive to Orlando. I think I can buy Mobil and Gulf near our home. Are there many of those on the drive to Orlando from Boston?
thanks

You should be okay with them since Mobil/Exxon stations are all over. The only other big company is Sunoco and then probably local stations.

Instead of buying gas cards, buy pre-paid charge cards. Mastercard or Visa. Then you can use them at any and all gas stations.

One site I always use is Gas Buddy to find the best deals on gas.

Just make sure you pay inside and not at the pump. Pay at the pump can sometimes authorize and place a hold on the card for $75 or more. That card won't be usable after a couple of fillups even though it should still have a balance on it. Shell and BP are also fairly common stations around thr country.

Personally, I would just keep the cash and pay that way. I drove down from MA to FLA and had to get gas two times along the way. First one was a 7-11 gas station in VA just past DC another was a BP station in the middle of nowhere, SC and then a Hess in the Orlando area. They don't have all those options up here in MA and you don't want to waste time trying to find a Mobil when you're in the middle of nowhere. I drove a Camry and got +/- 500 miles/tank as an FYI.
