Default $ 3.03 / gallon

Gasoline is sold by the gallon here. The set price of regular is RD$ 86.60 this week. The exchange plus or minus is about 28.5 pesos/ 1 USD. That brings the cost of a gallon of gas here to roughly US$ 3.03 a gallon.

Regards,
PJT

I have heard that although the gasoline is measured by the gallon. They will never give you the actual quantity in a gallon. Most of the pumps are rigged to give less but still read a gallon.
