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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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.

SmartPhone App helps Locate, Review Gas Stations in Costa Rica!!!!



This seems like a MEGA HELPFUL app for your SmartPhone - ESPECIALLY because some gas stations are selling you CRAPPY gas that's doing damage to your engine (like all the other negatives here aren't harming your car big time - like the bad roads, potholes, removed manhole covers, high driveways/curves with the low cars, speedbumps (especially the un-colored/un-marked ones).


A study released this week by the Public Services Regulatory Authority (ARESEP) found that 57 of Costa Rica’s 348 gas stations last year failed to fully comply with technical regulations for selling fuel. That means that more than 16 percent of gas stations failed at least one of the national regulations on quality and quantity.
ARESEP inspections mostly found sediments in fuels, gas pumps dispensing less fuel than paid for by customers and incorrect ignition temperatures in fuels sold.
