The firm Picodi conducted a market study in Latin America and found that Costa Rica has the most expensive gasoline in Central America.
In the country, the average price of each liter is $1.04, while in Honduras it is $ 1.02; in El Salvador it costs $ 0.9; in Nicaragua $0.99, in Guatemala $ 0.89; and Panama $0.89.
With these data and taking into account that Costa Rica’s average salary is $768 per month (around ¢456 thousand), 737 liters of fuel could be purchased.
The price of gasoline depends on many factors. For example, the price of oil in the international market, taxes to be paid and the margin set by the owners of the gas stations,”
reported the Picodi firm.
