Fuel prices January 2014...
Fuel prices, effective January 1st, 2014...
Magna.............$ 12.32 pesos per liter
Premium..........$ 12.90 pesos per liter
Diesel..............$ 12.73 pesos per liter
These prices are in liters... since 1 gallon = 3.7854 liters and today (January 3rd, 2014) 1 dollar = $12.40 pesos (+/-), we can calculate the
approximate price per gallon:
Magna.............$ 3.760 dollars per gallon
Premium..........$ 3.938 dollars per gallon
Diesel..............$ 3.886 dollars per gallon

All the(middle class?) people that work doing housecleaning, gardening. etc. around here can't afford to drive anymore unless they
raise their prices. Micro bus is OK for house cleaner but gardener has too many tools to use it.

Wonderful to have you back Antonio! Viva Baja Cactus!
Sad it is to post that prices are actually higher there than here in San Diego (I just saw $3.67 for Shell Regular yesterday).
Feliz Año Nuevo to you and your great crew in El Rosario!

Along this same line propane (off the delivery truck) is now $7.03 pesos a liter. A rate increase just in time for your winter heating bill.
Just do it!

Partidtad Recursos Interceptus (peeg-latin for the PRI gets everything).
It's not just gasoline. IVA has been raised five full percent. A hundred dollar battery is now a hundred five dollars, same for tires, oil,
silverware, there's even a SNACK TAX! Forget cheap botanas. Yeah there's even talk of a whopper of a proposed beer and alcohol tax increase.
I don't even want to know what the new CFE D.A.C. rate is - I am too depressed to ask at this point. What i do know is BUS FARES are going to go up.
My kids say their customers are complaining they won't be able to visit the beach and dine at their enramada as often.
Hah! Me do much? Fat chance. But I intend to double the morning tip la propina to the hotel maid, and restaurant masero(a) for good service.
I try to think of perspective this way, using a salary of $30,000 year
Forty dollars a gallon for gasoline
A hundred thirty dollars for a restaurant steak
Twenty dollars for a loaf of bread
Two hundred dollars for a pair of Levi jeans
Thirty eight dollars for a quart of oil
Six thousand dollars for the cheapest laptop computer
One thousand eight hundred dollars for a basic utility electric bill (at US consumption)
A new cheap model car $200,000
A Lot To See And A Lot To Do

About the same in Yuma, AZ. There is speculation that the price of gas in the USA will continue to fall.

I think you're right on the money there, DavidE..... the lesson is the jacka$$ party-in-chief in DC and Sacto (and the bankers that own them) will do
it to us here, if we let them.
There's got to be a saying about kicking a campesino when he's down, or not giving the guy an even break....
I wonder if the Mexicans are still as happy with the PRI; or as pleased as we are with OB Care?
That's good of you to boost the propina.... share the pain, at least a little.

The prices tend to go up once a month, normally the second week, at least I've been told this. The diesel price is still what it was in December.
That's a blessing, so far.
There are two factors affecting the price. One is the increase on the fuel itself to position it at a price compatible with North America (don't ask,
I don't understand). The other is the IVA in Baja (not the mainland) going from the reduced 11% tax to 16% tax, which is what it is elsewhere in
Mexico.
Using your figures, the price on Magna is up 4.2% and Premium is up 4.8%.
Keep us posted if diesel goes up.
Cheers!

Help me here. What is all the brewhaha about?
The IVA has been in place all along with Baja being exempt. The only thing that happened is the exemption went away...how is there going to be a
"revolution". The price of fuel was subsidized and controlled by the government...The free market is now at work... and it has hit some hard.
Nice while it lasted wasn't it.

I'm sure the increasing cost of gasoline in Baja is Obama's fault

it's funny, the cash cow of the entire Mexican economy is oil. now they are saying there isn't enough and they need to raise the price ABOVE what the
US pays. you know, those lazy slobs who make $25/hour... that way there will be enough for those who can afford it.
edit: and BTW, it was bush's fault. just like Fallujah and Ramadi... http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/01/04/al-qaeda...
