David has been a bit disappointed with Florida gas prices, especially since we left Tallahassee. We left on a (3/9) Wednesday, back tracking to Top Sail Preserve State Park and headed back through on Sunday(3/13).
Both leaving and coming back we made a gas stop at the same station, I 10 Exit 192 Pilot/Flying J, Quincy, Fl. Leaving we paid $1.73 per gallon for 40 gal. Coming back (3/13) $1.86 per gallon for 5O gal ($93.58). It went up 13 cents a gallon in just a few days 🙁
For any diesel users out there, March 18, in Bradenton, Florida, both regular and diesel were $1.99 a gallon.
Since arriving in Florida we are staying put a lot more and not needing to gas up as much. We’re curious as snowbird season dwindles down if gas prices will drop a little.
March 21, Punta Gorda, Florida 50 gallons @ $2.03 per gal. $100. Going up!
The gas prices have gone up instead of down. Prices are ranging from $2.09 – $2.29 in the Homestead/Miami/Keys area.
We were in the keys for almost a month. Staying put, no gas stops 🙂
April 19, Headed North we stop off I 95 Exit 131 (Port St Lucie) 50 gal @ $1.99 $100. We don’t always fill up. Most gas stations shut the pumps off at $100.
April 22, HWY 17 in Round O, S.C. $1.89 a gallon we take 65 gallons. It’s nice having an 80 gallon tank.
April 23, Princeton / Kenly N.C. We’re putting on miles and using gas like crazy. We top off 30 gallons @ $1.96 $60. Often when we top off like this it’s not because we need gas, it’s because we see a sign for a Flying J. They have RV islands that are easy in and out.
April 24, Winchester, Virginia I 81 Exit 323 Flying J, 52 gallons $1.93 gal. $100.
Up, up, up and over the Shenandoah’s we go. This is one of our favorite drives for the views, not the gas mileage 🙂
April 25, Bloomberg N.J. I 78 Exit 7 Exxon $1.89 gal. 46 gal. $88.00. There are three gas stations here, Pilot $1.86 gal Exxon $1.89 Citgo $1.93. The Exxon (far right lane, closest to Burger King) is easiest in and out with an RV.
This should be it for gas for this trip. We have less than 250 miles home 🙂
