Fuel in Uzbekistan and more
Hi Taranguien
I‘ve done Uzbekistan last summer.
All vehicles in the country run on LPG. Petrol is available on the private black market only. And this is how we did:
Ask the guy at the hotel/guesthouse reception for petrol. He will effect a couple of phonecalls and organise it for you. You can get from 80 up to 95 depending on how lucky you are and howmuch you are prepared to spend. Sometimes the fuel was delivered right to the hotel. Advise: Take a fuel funnel from Touratech with you in order to clean the fuel given from dirt and water. Doing this we had absolutely no issues with both our bikes (2012 BMW R1200 GS Adventure).
Costs per liter were approximately 4500 to 5000 Som (summer 2017).
Turkmenistan: We didn‘t get transit visas for Turkmenistan. So we had to cross the Caspian Sea from Baku to Aqtau in Kasachstan.
How that feels you can get in my thread

Hope all this is helpful.
Enjoy the ride. And don‘t forget the city of Xiva - nicer than Boxoro or Samarkand ;-)
Cheers Silvio
