Hitting the Bottle

Re-fuelling your car or moped here in Benin gives you an interesting choice. Do you pay more money and use one of the modern petrol (gas) stations in the town, or do you buy from a vendor at a road side stall? Even in town there are lots of small stalls with coke bottles full of petrol that the moped drivers buy from. Thank fully not many people smoke here (yet). If you are out and about though you will probably need to buy fuel from one of these stalls, but the service is excellent and you even get it poured into the tank for you. None of that self service nonsense here!
