We usually fly into tampa as that's closest to us but the price of a flight is up, so the next alt is MCO with Norwegian. If so, we will have to hire a car for maybe 3/4 days with local drop off near Brooksville. Any recommends.......and yes, I want it feckin cheap...as I am !!!

We are flying out to MCO in 2 weeks got a Mustang Conv booked with Alamo, last year same thing and at the end of the line saw a Camaro and decided I wanted that, it was ok but I thinki'd have preferred the Mustang so will stick with a Mustang if there any left

Anybody know what models Alamo have ? V8/V6/Ecoboost ?

Got here....all the Mustangs had gone ??

Was offered a Beetle cab....but the nice guy at the desk gave me a Camaro SS V8 for $45 extra, so well chuffed

You cannot fault the service over here compared to at home..

Is the fuel still stupidly cheap? you will need it for the 8-pot, I was only getting 20 mpg out of the smaller 6 cylinder last year.

I've not fuelled up yet, but I think it's still cheap. Is avg 16mpg which is better than expected, great sound, really big, cheap interior and finish though, but I'm not complaining as I only have it for a week and will never own one!

bit more expensive than last year, it was under $2 a gallon

It fluctuates month by month - it was under $2 for regular in June this year. Current bullst excuse for the price creeping up again - summer blend.

I'm happy paying $2.11 a gallon ! We don't plan to huge miles we we do intend to visit Daytona / NASA and head over to Clearwater while we are there from the 11th sept

I found that, unlike the UK where it's pretty well the same price in a given area, in Orlando gas stations across the road from each other could be .30c different.

There's a Shell garage 15 seconds from our Hotel in Lake Buena Vista so I'll just use that I cant be bothered playing find the cheapest these days

If that's the one on the way to Premium Outlets then that was always one of the really top price places. Upside is it was generally deserted!

Contrary to what you'd expect, I found the Hess stations on Disney property were always pretty reasonable.
