Argentina v Spain expenses
This is a bit of synchronicity, just last night Elisa and I did "quentas" accounting... comparing expenses between our 7000 kilometer February/March 09 ride (2 Honda NX400s) around Argentina with our very recent 2000 kilometer drive (Ford) from La Coruña, Spain down to Madrid and return through Salamanca. and around Galicia...
ARGENTINA: Gas/lodging/food maintenance (oil changes, minor parts etc) + all extras, incl  and wine...Each Honda NX400 got 22 K per liter. Averaged over the 2 month tour:
$24.00 dollars US per day each.
SPAIN: Gas/lodging/food maintenance ( oil change) + all extras incl  and wine... Ford got 16 K per liter. Averaged over 7 day tour:
$98.00 dollars US per day each
Spain, seems to be 3 times as expensive as Argentina (after calculating differences between distances and gas consumption rates for each tour) and the big difference was that we did not camp in Spain, we slept in hostels.
