>Er, actually, one staion it's gone up c. 4-5p/ltr, and others 1p. But what kills me is you guys bleating when yours isn't even half what ours costs. (c. 3/8). You don't know you're born!

For comparison: In Bolivia we pay a little less than Bs. 4, equivalent to almost half a US$, per liter, for gasolene.

However, many cars have already switched to gas, which costs about 1/3 (per km.), compared to gasolene (gas costs Bs. 1.66, or US$ 0.20, per cubic meter). Service stations that provide gas are widely available. Actually, cars are changed to "dual", i.e., they can use either gas or gasolene.
