According to GasBuddy.com, motorists are shelling out $5.89 for a gallon of regular gas at a Shell station in Lake Buena Vista, topping out at $5.99 a gallon for premium. It doesn’t get better at a Suncoast Energy station in Orlando, where drivers are paying $5.79 for a gallon of regular.
“Prices over in the Disney World area are much higher than any other place in Florida,” Jessica Brady, AAA spokeswoman, told CBS Tampa, adding that people regularly complain about gas prices in that area.
The Sunshine State is opening up its wallet, paying an average of $3.67 a gallon of unleaded gas, 12 cents more than the national average. And it’s only expected to go up.
“It doesn’t look like we will have relief at the pump anytime soon,” Brady told CBS Tampa. “I do think we will see prices surpass $4 a gallon. I think we will see that closer to spring time.” source – CBS Tampa

Leave it to CBS to create sensationalism and panic, because two gas stations in the entire state are scalping customers (what very few they get). The average for the entire state is still under $4.00 / gallon. For however long it lasts.

It might help to sell the lies you tell if the picture accompanying the article reflects something at least CLOSE to what your headline says.
$58.74 divided by 15.711 = @$3.74/gallon – nowhere CLOSE to $6.00/gallon.
