a couple of years ago someone here posted the link to a web site with test results of Pemex stations - incomplete liters and other tricks
anyone remember that link?

Try googling la lista negra de pemex.

not what I am looking for

the site I am looking for allows you to see any Pemex in a map environment and the rating according to their tests

The station in town in Mulege got me last feb.
Coasted in on fumes and they were able to get nearly 35 gallons in my 31 gallon tank.
Pretty impressive.
The vegetable stands in Todos Santos have a lovely gringo tax as well.

Whose tests?

The station operators change the pump calibration to “normal” when Pemex or govt testers arrive, then change calibration to “rip off” setting after tester leaves.

Thank you, Chippy!
That's the one I was looking for

Thanks for that Chippy!

Interesting. Shows the one here in downtown Mulege as green, sin anomolias. It has a new pump (maybe a new no cheater pump?), and the station is closed since the new pump went in.

I can't find any data date for what is on the map.

The map is missing the Bahia Asuncion Pemex....:coolup:

I was told, but never personally confirmed that the pumps are calibrated at 20 liters. A friend from the mainland who has several boats said he always buys fuel in 20 liter increments as many pumps owners have a program to make the pumps read right at the twenties. This is the marks where the are tested by the folks that test them. Pretty crafty if true!!!
