Gas Prices Soar Near Disney World

Motorists from other areas of the country may be in for a bit of "sticker shock" when they see current gas prices in Florida, with some areas charging close to $6 per gallon. Ouch! Prices in Lake Buena Vista are as high as $5.89 for regular and $5.99 for premium at some stations! The national average this week is at around $3.59 per gallon for regular. Of course, higher prices in tourist areas are expected, but traditionally the HESS gas stations on Walt Disney World property are actually among the cheapest in the immediate Lake Buena Vista area. Current prices, according to GasBuddy.com, at those HESS stations are still a relative "cheap" $3.71 for regular.
