From Disney and most other theme parks there are cheap gas stations on the way to top off at.
Example: Returning from Disney via I-4 East (northeast) to 528 (Beach Line) east, watch for what looks like an exit ramp on 528 to pay the toll in cash. Then get off at exit 9 (Tradeport). Left and cross under. Nice cheap gas station right there on the left. With the gas station on your left,
possibly rounding a corner depending on how you left the station, get into middle lane. Required right onto McCoy for your last mile and a half to 436 (Semoran Blvd.). Right is the airport entrance, left goes to the double price gas station.
Reverse of this route to go to Disney; leave airport by north exit, left at first light (Frontage). Next light is McCoy where you take two quick lefts to get on 528 west.
