Amis voyageurs, bonjour!
Une des informartions les plus importantes dans un voyage par route, c´est bien le prix de l´essence dans les différents pays traversés. Notez bien que les prix sont ceux qui étaient valables lors de notre passage, entre 2009 et 2011. Les prix peuvent avoir changés mais les écarts entre pays devraient rester stables.

I was always curious how often you encounter fuel stations in some of the more remote locations. For instance, how difficult was it to find fuel while passing through Mongolia? We are enjoying the continued following of your journeys and thinking fondly of your time in Nashville. I am especially looking forward to the stories that come from Iran! Safe journeys friends!
ReplyDeleteHey!! PJ!! Was not easy to find your comment but we are glad we did!
ReplyDeleteEffectively, Mongolia was the more complicated place for gasoline. In fact, it was the only complicated place. Then in Russia or Kazakhstan there is no problem at all.
During the last week in Mongolia, we loaded one complete tank (20 galons) and two big jericans (about 20 galons also in total) and it was not enough to arrive to the border! Crazy Mongolia!
We are also always remembering you and Kim and how wonderful it was to meet you and spend time with you in Nashville. Take care friends!!
