Suncoast Energys Orlando Suncoast Energys gasoline price gouging Orlando Florida
We stopped at Suncoast Energys at 5928 Butler National Dr at midnight of July 11, 2015. There was no attendant on duty and no signs of gas price next to station. It didn't concern me since I am buyng gas on credit anyway. I di not look at the pump and started filling it up, suddenly it crossed my mind that price wasn't right: $5.99 per gallon. My first thought was that we had an emergeny or zombie apocalypse, but there was a simpler explanation: price gouging.
Thank God!
i immediately stopped at 4 gallons and we went to next station where gas was $2.94 per gallon.
i called station next day and was told that this is a price and they do it to gouge Orlando airport visitors. I am gonna call to my credit card company and see if there is something they can do to these scambags, but i would advise anyone to remember this fly by night enterprise!
Avod Suncoast Energys at all cost!

I get it, Jim!
You know that average reader of this website never been to Orlando... You have an advantage of raising doubts. You can claim that in free market capitalist society enterprise can rape consumer in any way it sees it fit. Actually, I agree with you. But the problem is, gasoline PRICE was not posted. There was no sign on the street, no posts, no price on gas pump until you start pumping. Those yellow pumps did look weird... It was a midnight, I was tired and didn't pay much attention to all of this. What I do remember, is a gas staition on left hand side where gas price was posted at $2.59 per gallon.
You are the sheeple, Jim! All I wanted was to warn consumers about this place.
Go back and collect your paycheck from your price gouging employer!
I am filing report with BBB as well, just to make you happy.

I doubt very seriously they told you their' purpose is price gouging. However, we both know that's what they are doing.
Looking for somebody to get mad at? They do have a sign on the street but all YOU needed to do was move your eyes about one thirty second of an inch and focus on the price on the pump. You failed to do this. As for contacting the credit card company...forget it. YOU paid for four gallons of gas at that price which YOU agreed to pay and you received four gallons of gas. The credit card company does not regulate prices and neither does this country. This gas station company KNOWS they can get away with this because not many people have the common sense to actually look at the price which is staring them in the face.
No, I don't work for them.
