Are you a Mexican citizen?
If not, then no worries... tons of American diesel cars and trucks drive Baja!

Since Mexicans are forbidden to own private non-commercial diesel vehicles, |
I'm curious about this restriction? Why is that? We are planning to travel in our diesel Ford; no problems, I hope. |
MY best understanding is that it is because diesel fuel is "subsidized" by the government for commercial purposes, and thus diesel vehicles are
relegated to non-private use.

Last night on the news they said to expect gas at over 4 dollars/gal this summer in the States. There were no new emergencies, just business as
usual.

Precios en Mexicali Ayer
Driving South through El Centro and Calexico yesterday, the lowest prices advertised were $2.95 for 87 octane and $3.15 for 91 octane. I filled up en
Mexicali and the prices were 8.27 pesos por litro (87) and 8.85 (91). At 10.85 pesos to the dollar, it worked out to $2.85 / $3.09 per gallon.
Cheaper than El Norte, but not by much. I didn't get a chance to check the San Felipe prices since the gas stations were all a madhouse and I've got
enough of a reserve to not need any for a week or two.

Aw. Big deal. Regular is now $4.00 / gal in Vancouver BC !!!
Can't figure out why - our Canadian oil companies don't have George W in their pocket. Must just be PURE greed, Eh?

It's government profit (taxes) and rediculous regulations that double the gas price and create shortages that drive up the price.
Because (one political group) prevents us from extracting the oil we have under are own soil, we must buy from other countries... Blame them, not the
companies that make a product we want or need.

Ok DK, if we started drilling the ANWR say 5 years ago, how much lower would the price of regular unleaded be from the $2.99 I saw today? There is not
that much there, and it's not very cheap to pump out, transport, and refine. Also, what would the $2.99 for regular unleaded be without federal and
California state taxes? It would be $2.49 cents rounded to the nearest penny. http://www.energy.ca.gov/gasoline/statistics/gas_taxes_by_st... That's not that much savings with a total abolition of gasoline tax. However, in
that scenario, it would be unfair to tax me via other methods of tax collection for the upkeep of roads and traffic signals, and to tax me for traffic
law enforcement since I only ride my bicycle to school each day. I'd rather see my taxes go toward bike trails away from all the cars.

And as for the ridiculous regulations such as all containers needing to be replaced in all Ca. gas stations, who do you think lobbied for that? The
big, national gasoline venders generously offered to submit to such a thing. Who suffered? You got it.

It was reported yesterday that the average price of gas in the US increased by 80-cents per gallon since January 1st of this year. I don't think we
are seeing the decline yet as it seems the price is escalating daily! Dig deep in your pockets or do not drive a gas powered vehicle.

If you think gas taxes go to roads, you have been breathing way too many exhaust fumes on your bicycle commute.
Most go to the General Fund, where they are spent on anything....Usually having nothing in common with roads and commuting.
Yes, some gas taxes do go to the roads, but those are special local taxes voted on and passed by the voters in an attempt to do what the State will
not. Ever notice how wide and nicely paved and free of potholes the roads are in Orange County???? Especially noticeable at the 5 Freeway at the
County line. Goes from at least 6+ lanes in one direction on the OC side to 3 lanes on the LA side?..All from a ? cent sales tax.
