ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

Gas Station Irregularities Reported in Costa Rica - Where YOU sold contaminated gas or were YOU overcharged? Check the List of stations accused of this scam


So it looks like 31 gas stations around Costa Rica have been exposed for selling people bad gas (contaminated - with sediments in it) and/or not giving you the amount of gas you THINK you paid for.

It's up to YOU to ALWAYS double check that they reset the pump to "0" before they start pumping as this is a common way a less than scrupulous attendant does it (if you don't check - YOU'RE partially responsible!!!)

The thing is, what can you do with this information - other than maybe avoiding these stations till they get in integrity.  I don't know if legally there's anything you can do now - even if you've noticed your car acting up since it IS Costa Rica.
