Petrol Station | Fuel Station

March 5th, 2024 by Wendy & Graham

We managed to get gasoline here. Not easy. We bought 100B of fuel at the local price and gave a 20B 'propina'. Keep an eye on your fuel gauge. It is difficult to get fuel around here. We managed to buy enough to get us to the border with Argentina.

impossible for us to get diesel in both stations that are next to each other

one refused to sell gas to me (either in the car or in jerrycans), the other would only sell at international price. went to the YPFB instead.

hay dos estaciones de servicio juntas una es verde y azul ( hay no conseguimos cargar, nos dijeron que no había diésel) la otra es amarilla u azul es la que está en la rotonda de semáforos, en esta pudimos cargar 3 bidones de 10 litros a precio boliviano. la chica muy maja nos preguntó si éramos patente extranjera le dijimos la verdad, que sí pero que veníamos cargando con bidones a precio boliviano sin problema desde que entramos al país y muy amable nos dijo que nos lo vendía a ese precio.

Le prix de l'essence était de 3,1 bols. La moins chère du parcours. Prix indiqué par la pompe, pas eu besoin de négocier.

I can confirm: diesel can be easily negotiated at 6B/l at the southern station. Woman very friendly.

We went to the one right afront the bridge and we agree very easily for 6bol/L of gasolina direct in the tank "Sin Factura".
There is also toilets and showers (cold) in both man and woman bano. It was average clean.

Both stations told us 8.86 even in bidon and wouldn’t budge.

The southern fuel station wouldn't fill bottles because the fuel nozzle is too small to enter, so only bidones. We met a friendly local who was buying gas in a bidon because his motorcycle didn't have a number plate, and he bought for us at local price. Apparently not having a number plate is quite common in Tupiza.

The place is not completely at the right location. The southern fuel station doesn’t fill gas canisters (it seems to be forbidden) and the northern fuel station only fills 10 liters per canister for foreign price (they probably saw my car).

We first tried the petrol station north. They were willing to fill jerrycans but did not want to negociate so we left.
We then went to the one south. The women first told us it was 8,5/L but when we told her we have friends that had it for 6 here it was immediately OK. We filled our tank and jerrycan without any issues here!

PS: jerrycans available in the center for 30BOB (20L)

Both stations refused to sell fuel in Jerry cans. Told them it was for a generator but that didn't matter. The southern most one wanted a copy of carnet. May try again when it's dark.

In the southest one I fulled my 20 litre jerrycan and paid 6 per litre. At the beginning she wanted me to pay 8, but I negotiated. The bolivian price was around 3 bolivianos per litre. All the thing it had to be hidden from the cameras. Don't show up with your car, just park near and go walking if you only want to full the jerrycan. If they ask the propose of the gas, try to say that is for a generator.

Impossible to fill tank at low price at both stations: only foreign price at 8,7 bol/l.

Got it for 6. It's on the main road.

one further north wouldn't sell as had no factura , one slightly south sold at official rate ( but a Police car did pull in behind me !)

There are two places to buy petrol/diesel next to each other we tried both, if youre coming from the south the first one you get to let us buy petrol at local rates in a jerry can and once on our bike (its currently got no plates). The other place would only give us the foreigner price even in a jerry can.
