1 litre = 0.2642 US gallons
so 250 colones = 1 litre
so 4 litres = 1.0568 gallons close enough for me 4 litres = 1 gallon
so 1000 colones = 4 litres and 1600 colones = 4 US dollars
1000/1600 = .625 so .625 * 4 = 2.50
so $2.50 a gallon
My math could be wrong, if i could look up all the details and had the time to get the wheels turning in my brain i might be able to make heads or tails of it.
Honestly i dont know if he filled up in mexico. he has a massive tank in his bed as well as that Transflo under frame tank so he's got some incredible range. if he did fill up there it was way south of the border. It pretty cool thinking about all this stuff

That is correct about the safety and emissions. Seems there's no problem for the folks that work in El Paso to purchace a truck across the border. It may have something to do with a lot of folks also live in mexico that are american citizens working in the USA.

Ok guys he just pulled into Cordova Argentina, sounds like he may have barged the truck part of the way into Peru somewhere to avoid Columbia.
He says he found a dealer in San Jose Costa Rica that was able to clear the codes for him. Since hten he says no more codes no more RE-Gen and fuel mileage is up 2-3 mpg solid across the board. though he says driving down there is trecherous

Good to hear he found a dealer with a scan tool that works on the US truck but I wonder if he can even order parts down there and find a mechanic to install them?
Cool story though, I bet he's got the only 6.7 around!
