A Beginner's Guide to Gas Station Whack-a-Mole... (S3:E62)

Departing Bolivia's constitutional capital of Sucre, Chad and Rose set out on a journey to the country's largest city - Santa Cruz de la Sierra...
But in order to get there, they must first navigate the crowded street markets of Oruro, and one of Bolivia's most dangerous highways en route to Cochabamba.
And that's just the beginning... Before they can go anywhere, they'll need gas.
Repeat after us: "sin factura"...

    Hola Chad ,soy de Bolivia,los sigo desde hace meses ,me gusta como relatan su viaje ,el camino que tomaron a Santa Cruz el antiguo es menos transitado menos peligroso ,las rutas más transitadas son ,cochabamba,Oruro,la paz ,pero a la paz es 4 carriles ,2 de ida y 2 de vuelta ,si vuelven a la paz para ir a lago Titicaca ,le recomiendo visitar Coroico , espectacular ,y si vienen por Cochabamba y Oruro conozco una ruta de tierra ,por cruce tocopaya, llegas para Bolívar y luego para Oruro ,saludos amigos 😊

And: I've been through the video and the comments, maybe I missed it but couldn't find an explanation as to why no fuel is sold to foreign-plated vehicles... Would like to know.

    Hi there! Welcome to the channel, and thank you for the kind words. We had discussed the fuel situation in an earlier episode, but the cliff notes are that the Bolivian government heavily subsidizes gasoline and diesel. For years, people from neighboring countries would come in to purchase cheap fuel and resell it in their country. As a result, Bolivia stopped selling fuel to non-residents...

    Never stranded as I got out of the country when I experienced the problem. I had to get gas in a can then walk across the road to fill the bike, so refueling took an hour or so. I was on my way to Ushuaia Argentina at the time.
