I have a 5 AM flight out of MCO when returning home. So I'll be looking for a gas station near MCO that is actually open at 2:30 or 3:00 AM, so I can top off the gas tank in the rental car I'll be returning. Anyone have a suggestion? Thank you!

I usually stop at the Wawa on Boggy Creek (south airport entrance). Website says 24 hrs.

The cars on board computer tells you how many miles you can drive before you run out of gas. The computer knows how much gas is in the tank, to the tenth.

A few locations are starting to use that information. The data is read wirelessly. Happened to me in LA. The gas was shown on my receipts. I gave them almost a gallon of gas.

I don't understand.

I’m not sure how accurate those are. I’ve gone 15 miles on 0 before….

I come from the east and stop at the Wawa on Semoran Blvd half mile north of the north exit of the airport. I'm almost always flying out at 0600 so am filling up at 0330 to 0400.
Avis and Budget actually use the fuel telemetry to determine if you need to pay for fuel, but they are wrong more often than they are right.

We rented from Alamo twice during a recent WDW and DCL trip. For the first rental, a Nissan Altima with 55K+ miles, the paperwork just indicated FULL for the fuel level on pick-up and we filled up just prior to returning the car. When we checked the car in, the agent asked me if I’d filled up and marked the fuel level as FULL again. For the second rental, a Chevy Malibu with just under 9K miles, the paperwork indicated 12.9 gallons on pick-up. I filled the tank at the Speedway by the Boardwalk resort the night before we left, and the paperwork indicated 13.6 gallons when we returned the car at MCO the following day. I think how fuel level is handled may also depend on what information the agent’s handheld device can read from the vehicle computer.

I also like the Wawa just north of the airport on Semoran Blvd. They have many fuel pumps and a big convenience store. Still, I am not sure how I'd feel about fueling up at 03.00 or whatever--might just do it at one of the Disney Speedways the previous day.

I've done it between 0300 and 0400 multiple times. It's always fairly busy there. It's not like when I used to stop at the BP on 528 and Narcosee. That place would be dead in the morning.
