This past week, I was in Orlando at SQL Connections.  It went well and I will blog about a few things later, but I was in for a shock when I returned my rental car on Thursday.  I rented from an off-site company to get a great deal.  I usually start looking for a gas station about 5-10 miles before I get to the airport, but I was distracted with other things.  I rent cars all over as i travel and know that the gas stations near the airport usually charge a little more.  I am always prepared for that.  Most gas stations in the Orlando area are running at about $3.65 or so for regular unleaded.  This particular gas station was selling it for $4.84/gallon!  I know that in Europe and elsewhere, gas is around $9-10/gallon, but we are not used to that here in the US (at least not yet).  With TechEd coming up, you may want to make sure that you get your gas well before you return your rental.  BTW, I used Andy's tip by looking at the fuel guage to know which side the gas cap was on. ;-)
