    Time to remind all of you visiting Orlando to NOT, repeat NOT, gas-up your car anywhere near the airport WHERE THE PRICES ARE NOT VISIBLE FROM THE STREET!!!

    Especially at the last minute. Especially if there is a well-known fast food restaurant named after a young female connected to the station OR across the street from the restaurant.

    On today's local news, they showed regular priced at $4.899 and premium at $4.999.

    3/4 of a mile up the road at the next major intersection, regular is around $2.799.

    People don't look before sticking the credit card in the pump!

    The local mayor is pushing a new ordinance forcing the posting of prices under threat of a $500 a day fine. To the operator, that's a minor cost of doing business. Based on the number of pumps and being open 24 hours, I conservatively estimate that this guy is making over $1000 a hour on the over-priced gas. $500 a day fine? BFD! Don't look for a price signboard anytime soon.
