Gaz supply

Lots of Uzbek fuel stations aren't petrol stations because all they sell is what I presume is LPG... although it might be CNG.

When you do find petrol, it's usually no more than 91 octane. Weird for this part of the world.

We quickly noticed the unexpectedly different character of Uzbekistan from Kazakhstan. The border was very clearly US-trained and moneyed, as were the occasional stretches of good road or bridge, which were absolutely lethal because when they stopped abruptly one sometimes found one's team to be driving rather too fast, resulting in an explosive dust-storm as they hit the sand!
