MissP22 Posted April 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I'll have to avoid buying my gas in Ft Lauderdale next cruise ... not that their prices were anything great to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet that gas in Ft. Lauderdale is probably $1/gallon cheaper than it is anywhere in California. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news says they’re getting more gas brought into Ft Lauderdale area. You might check with a current roll call, to see what is going on. You could also use Uber/Lyft instead of a taxi.

Rothko1 Posted April 19, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I have noticed that local prices have jumped up somewhat. I can't tell if it is because of the Port shutdown or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's risen in SW Florida also and we all know the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby114 Posted April 21, 2023 #8 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Crude oil is refined into gasoline and then transported by bulk oil freighters to Port Everglades for distribution in South Florida. I read earlier today that gasoline reserves are now starting to stabilize in the area and supply is increasing to normal levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cienfuegos Posted April 24, 2023 #10 Share Posted April 24, 2023 The website GasBuddy(dot)com is an excellent assist for finding gas and gas prices in regions where you want to travel. In south Florida, prices can vary 10-15 cents per gallon when you cross a county line. There's a Costco gas station in Davie, just off I-595. A few miles from the Port.
