Being a canny Scot I would like to share this with anyone who may be considering a drive down to Key West from Miami or further afield.
To my shock/horror I discovered that petrol was 30cents a gallon dearer in Key West than in Florida City and Key Largo.
I know fuel is cheap in the USA at $1.50/gallon but a 20% price hike in 126 miles is a bit much to take no matter how touristy the area is.
Unfortunately I was on fumes by the time I reached Key West (driving directly through from Orlando) and had to take the hit but hopefully some other people will learn from this post!
