People Already Paying $4.09 at the Gas Pumps in Daytona Beach
The average price of gasoline may have jumped through the U.S. but nothing like the spike seen at a gas station near the airport over the weekend.
The Problem Solvers found a Chevron gas station in Orlando near the airport charging $4 for a gallon of regular.
“I was shocked,” motorist Cindy Confer said after purchasing $4 gas. “I was thinking we should have gone down the road.”
“You didn’t stop to look before you started pumping?” Local 6’s Mike DeForest said.
“I looked out here,” Confer said.
Local 6 reported that the prices were not put on any signs at the business.
The station was also selling Plus gas for $4.09 and charging $4.19 for premium gas, the report said.
“I would not put those prices on the big sign out there either and they didn’t,” Local 6’s Marla Weech said.
Officials with AAA said $4 for a gallon of regular gas is well above the average price in Orlando and Daytona Beach.
Motorist in Orlando are paying $2.87 and $2.94 in Daytona Beach.
The national average is $2.87 a gallon, according to AAA.
