Before I left and during my trip I would watch CNN or BBC News and the most important news story other than the US elections seemed to be the rising costs of gasoline (or petrol for my UK readers).

Well, in Central America, the cost was about the same as in Canada (about $1.30 per litre) except for Honduras. The cost worked out to be about $5 per US gallon or cost to $1.40 a litre and that was in larger cities. In the smaller towns and villages it was closer to $1.50 per litre. Diesel was more expensive than that.

This is a picture of the the gas pump at an Esso station in the capital city of Honduras, Tegucigalpa and the price is shown in lempira. With the conversion the price turns out to be about $4.98 Canadian dollars per gallon. Good and cheap.
