My understanding is that there are always road blocks all over the place. I encountered 1 big one while I was there a few months ago as the entire city of Oruro was shut down by a transit strike with cars/buses blocking every road and train track.
Theo and I just rode around them. There were tons of people just hanging out all over the place and no one seemed to care that we were driving offroad / doing what ever it took to get around the road blocks.
The gas in Bolivia does suck. It is <84 octane.. no one I asked even knew what octane was so I never got an answer what it actually is.. All I know is that when I got to Chile and filled up with 97, i literally did an unintentional wheelie out of the gas station.
suerte!
