FILL´ER UP COSTA RICA

I just filled up my car today in San Jose, Costa Rica. Cost for a liter of diesel was 710 colones, equal to $1.26 Canadian. Looks pretty cheap, eh, compared to a liter of diesel in Calgary, from $1.294 up to $1.469. http://www.calgarygasprices.com/index.aspx?fuel=D Whoaaa! Time to fill her up in Costa Rica!

Or, how about a fill up in San Jose, California. After some high class arithmetic, the cost per gallon of diesel in San Jose, Costa Rica was $4.82 U.S., compared to $4.95 to $5.39 in San Jose, California. http://www.sanjosegasprices.com/index.aspx?fuel=D

By the way, the car, a Toyota Land Cruiser, gets 20 miles per gallon, crosses rivers and eats potholes - a perfect Costa Rica car.
