I believe the cheapest countries (in fuels) are Colombia and Venezuela,
Argentine is somewhere in the middle, probably Brazil has a little bit
lower prices than Uruguay, I don't know about the others.
Please, take into account that in Uruguay,and possibly other the gas is
also called "nafta" and diesel is called "gas-oil" or "gasoil", this may
help in your price search.
Ernesto.

Digest.Net mailing list "Meta FAQ"
These general notes on using Digest.Net mailing lists are posted on
the 1st and 15th of each month. This file may be found on the web

[last revised 5/1/02; removed list of spam strings, as i'm not the only
one filtering on them -- rpw]
Additional information on Digest.Net's spam policies may be found at
http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html and

The Meta-FAQ
1. Why don't my postings go through?
There are several things that may interfere with postings
making it to the list.
a) Are you a member?
Some read the ftp archives rather than receiving the list
in email. Persons who read the list via email are
automatically members, but readers of the FTP archive are not,
and need to contact me (rwelty@krusty-motorsports.com) and get
your name added to the list of "permitted senders".
b) has your email address changed?
some of you have had changes in your email address. your old
address still works, and is still on the list, but your From:
line shows a new address. this can happen for various reasons;
you may have changed jobs or ISPs, and left a forward in place,
or your IT staff may have fiddled with the email system.
you will need to unsubscribe your old email address and subscribe
the new one. this may require my involvement, if you can't figure
out a way to get your old address off the list using the conventional
majordomo commands. you can use the majordomo "which" command to
probe for old addresses. send a message to majordomo@digest.net
with one or more which commands in the body, one per line. to
check for potential addresses for Fred Flinstone, formerly of
bedrock.org, the following commands can be sent:
which flintstone
which bedrock
note that the matches above might return any of the following
addresses, if they appear in the list (in other words, you can
use vagueness and incompleteness in your recollection as a tool):
Fred.Flinstone@bedrock.org
fflinstone@wilma.bedrock.org
flintstonef@bedrock.com
c) do you have more than one email address?
if so, only the subscribed addresses can post, unless you contact
me (see 1.a) above for relevant information)
d) are you using (intentionally or accidentially) special "features"
of your mail client?
[this section is no longer operative, as the demime software
now strips html, attachments, rich text format, etc. from
postings automatically.]
e) are your posts too large?
there is a 10,000 character limit on posting sizes; this is done
for various reasons. you can always split up large postings to
get mail through.
f) are you including majordomo commands at the start of your message?
administrivia control is turned on; this is a trap for things
like "unsubscribe" at the start of a message. try to avoid obvious
majordomo commands in the subject and the first 10 lines, or
misspell them in obvious ways (e.g. unzubscribe, 1ndex, h3lp,
g3t, etc.)
g) are you triggering spam traps?
some things are red flags; for example, many phrases found
commonly in spam are automatically blocked.
h) are you using "funky" character sets?
[7 bit restriction lifted experimentally on 8/2/00 -- film at 11]
unfortunately, there are "issues" if i permit any character set
other than old fashioned 7 level ASCII; therefore, you need to
avoid national character sets that include various accents, umlauts,
national currency characters such as the British pound symbol, etc.
i) are you unintentionally including complete digests in your reply?
You need to check and make sure you cut down replys to the minimal
size; digests are between 20,000 and 25,000 characters in length,
and if you include a complete digest in your reply, it clearly won't
make the 10,000 character limit. By the way, this feature is
intentional.
j) Are you using a "bad" ISP or mail relay?
See http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html for more information
about Digest.Net policies about email.
k) Is the error message you get back "User Unknown"?
If so, you may be running afoul of spam control severices
(again, see http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html)
When these services register a hit, the error code 550 is returned.
550 is a generic code that many broken mail systems report as
"user unknown". The "rejectlog" entries for the previous day's mail
traffic on digest.net may be viewed at
http://www.digest.net/rejectlog.01
Some of you may find it useful or instructive to use the telnet
program to connect directly to port 25 on krusty-motorsports.com
and see what kind of reply you get; this requires some technical
knowledge and is not for everyone (you can get out of this at anytime
after the initial banner simply by typing quit and hitting enter.)
l) Is SMTP over TLS involved?
This is a bit esoteric, but as of 8/8/01 the digest.net mail server
will attempt to use "TLS" (Transport Layer Security) for outbound
mail if the destination mail server offers it. SMTP over TLS is
fairly new technology, and a bit buggy. I am monitoring the logs
on the server, and when I see TLS related problems, I manually
place the problem destinations on a special exception list; however,
this may delay email to the destination host until I make the
exception.
2. Why can't I unsubscribe?
a) are you using the right address?
send to majordomo@digest.net, and the command format is
unsubscribe list-name my-email-address
b) has your email address changed?
majordomo has no way of knowing that Fred.Flinstone@BarneyCo.com was
once fflintstone@bedrock.org. you can check this with the which
command (see 1.b) above for details)
3. How do I post to the list?
You may use either one of two addresses: for example, the bmw-digest
may be reached using either bmw@digest.net or bmw-digest@digest.net
If you are using the correct addresses and your posts don't show
up, check out the stuff in 1. above.
4. Where are the archives?
see ftp://ftp.digest.net/ for digest archives. the web archives have
proven problematic, and are awaiting time for a systematic attack
on the problems they've been having.
5. What other lists are on digest.net?
see http://www.digest.net/ for more information.
6. Is there a web subscription form?
Yes, recently added. go to
http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi
7. Why not move the lists to someplace like (egroups, topica,...)?
The Krusty Motorsports server (aka, digest.net) was explicitly
to provide for efficient management of the various automotive
mailing lists, done the way that the owner of the server wanted
it done. Any migration off of the server (which is already bought,
paid for, and configured) would create any number of issues.
8. How do i contact the Server Administrator in an emergency?
If my regular email address (rwelty@krusty-motorsports.com)
isn't working for you, you can fall back on rwelty@suespammers.org
9. What is Krusty Motorsports, anyway?
Krusty Motorsports (http:/www.krusty-motorsports.com/) is a
business which is owned and operated by Richard Welty
(rwelty@krusty-motorsports.com). Krusty is an S-Corporation in
the State of New York. Krusty provides a number
of Internet related services, such as mailing list, web sites,
pop3/telnet accounts, and consulting on internet related issues.
