Price of gas on the highway?


Is there a way to get an accurate fuel cost?
How about an inaccurate report.

Seems like it was about the same as Orange county.
Like $4.00/gal.

What do you think?

Earlier this year we paid $5 a gallon for barrel gas, not sure what the gas stations are getting?

Mood: I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.

You do the math, it's approximately 18.3 pesos. Put on your big boy pants. You figure out the rest. You live here now so it should be easy peasey.

In my 2019 trip reports, I do try to post the data. Without looking, 19 pesos comes to mind and the exchange rate was 19:1, a dollar per liter or $3.79/gallon. If this isn't it exactly, it is close for your planning. Each station now has flexibility on pricing, a bit.

That is about my estimate.
I used premium to keep my truck from running bad like it will on magna eventually.
So that's where I got my $4:00.

Magna is 87 octane pure gasoline, no damn ethanol! Are you sure you need premium? My high horsepower Tacoma does great on it.

It seems to gum up a little and start misfiring some.

I have the same problem with Arco in the states. But I did get some Chevron in Ensenada on Baja Country Club Rd and the highway.
New station Nice restrooms.
