tourist ripoff in Florida

Just before dropping off a rent-a-car at Thrifty, Orlando airport, I went to fill the tank at a service station across the street.

It had a “suspiciously green” look to the pumps. Oddly, the price was not advertised on an overhead sign.

I could not believe my eyes — $4.99 / gallon !!

When I started cursing out the attendant, he calmly advised me to drive 3 blocks to a regular service station. $3.89 / gallon.

They no longer kill German tourists in Florida. It’s too lucrative to keep them alive.
