you can probably get diesel for much cheaper - like 1.30. a few weeks back I was coming from Ankara (long story short, i missed a connecting flight to Trabzon and took a bus all the way). The bus was supposed to get me to Hopa and then I was planning to take a dolmus/bus to Sarpi and cross over. The bus driver, kept 5 Georgians on the bus and declared that he is going to Batumi. It was Metro bus. Just for a side note, Metro does not serve Georgia. Later I found out that they keep people on the roster so that they can cross into Georgia, fill tanks with diesel and go back - diesel is three times cheaper in Georgia, than in Turkey...

Yes, right, the normal Diesel for buses and trucks the L62-Quality is 1.30 Lari. The better quality of the so-called Eurodiesel is 1.50
