The gas stations will charge what the traffic will allow. In Central Florida, stations near the theme parks charge more in tourist areas.Around Sea World and Disney World, regular is $1.87 to $1.99 per gallon. You get into the burbs and off the beaten tourist tracks it drops to $1.75. Mobil, Chevron and Hess all price the same way. Same for Coke in the machine. Near the parks a bottle of Coke is $2.00 nine miles away it is $1.00. The closer a gas station is to the theme parks, the more rent they pay and pass on the price to the customer. The law of supply and demand. Tourists will pull into the first filling station they see, no matter the price.
