Gas Prices and Exchange Rates
My how things have changed!!!!
We don't drive a lot here, until the Beer Flu thing we almost always rode a Combi or used a taxi, but now we drive. Last fill up of our Escape cost $51 US. Yesterday, due to the reduced gas price and the exchange rate, it cost $27 US.
To show it differently, we are in the process of having our last construction project done here at the house, the lap pool, retaining walls, an upper patio, a huge project.
We get our cash from the ATM at INBURSA, they have the lowest fee and allow 5,000 pesos per transaction, up to your personal daily limit.
In February 5,000 pesos cost 269.37 USD including the fee.
In April 5,000 pesos cost 204.26 USD including the fee.
That is a huge difference! For once, it's in our favor during a major project.
