While away on our little Andean adventure, we went to a hot springs deep within the mountains, and far from anything else. I had plenty of gas to get to the nearest gas stations, one out east into the jungle, or one west back in the Quito area, but I didn't have any "exploring" gas. So, we asked around in the little town where the hot springs is located and found out there is a woman that sells gas. She fills up her 5 gallon jugs of gas and then raises the price around 30% for a total of $2.00 a gallon. No I am not complaining, I know the price of gas for all you "poor" people that live stateside, and I know our gas prices are cheap. Hey, there are some benefits to socialist thought and government subsidies.
