Gas Prices

[gretch]

Hi, for those of you who have just returned, can you tell me how much gas is in Aruba? I'm trying to decide on whether or not to rent a car. We usually do rent, although, I have been hearing that gas is $12 a gallon. I'm hoping that is just a rumor. Thanks for your help.

I rented a Jeep for a day. We drove around California Lighthouse and then to Saveneta to The Old Man and the Sea. We used 1/4 tank of gas and it cost $30 (I live in NYC and filling my Sentra from 1/8 tank costs less) to refill the tank...

Yowsers! Next time I am getting a Yaris

We just got back and the price was about 2.67 florians per liter. This comes out to about $5.60 a gallon. We also rented a jeep, and it was expensive but worth it.
