---------and a Happy Holidays (aka Christmas) to you, also. Really looking forward to staying at your place in El Rosario one of these days-----planning on it, in fact. (-:

Thanks for the info...

...we just hit $ US 2.279 today (unleaded 87) here in Northern California (Stockton).

The prices will soon 'match' above and below the border - just what the Petroleum Barons desire, I would think!

I doubt if we will see anything below $US 2.00/gallon again!

Even though the prices in the old country are dropping, I don't expect to see diesel as low up there as here in Mex.

A couple of places in Lake Havasu City were charging $1.999/gall when I went through there last Sunday. Dropped to 1.85 there now according to arizonagasprices.com, and a low of 2.01 at one place in Yuma.

Pity, it looked for a moment like it would finally encourage people to get rid of those gas-guzzling SUV's, 4WD's, and trucks...:lol:

$2.29 at the ARCO in Vista today...

Where was the $2.01 in Yuma?

Superfuels 43 E 5th St according to the arizonagasprices.com site (may have changed by now). Even a Barney's on Hwy 95 is down to 2.08.

Still way too cheap here, encourages waste. For comparison the current UK price is around US$6 per US gallon, similar in most of Europe.

Most of uk & Europe fuel prices are taxes- For their social programs

'Big oil' makes a dime a gallon and our 'big government' makes about a dollar... :wow:

Beware of the Superfuels, it is reclaimed fuel, filtered from the solvent "plugs" they use to clean the pipe lines. The plant is in Parker, I have done two "head" jobs on cars that had burned a tank of superfuels.

I paid $1.83 for regular unleaded yesterday at Costco in Salt Lake. Of course here, it is only 85 octane.

Better a public corporation that pays stockholders (people) than a wasteful government that... oh, nevermind!:saint:

If you had invested in, say the VANGUARD ENERGY FUND, you would have made annualized returns of : 60.6% this last year, or 22.75% (per year) the past 5 years, etc. etc..

Big Oil was really hurting in the 80's----having to merge with other oil companies to keep from going under------and nobody was complaining then about that. Go Figure!!!

We sure ain't going to find any "new oil" if there are no profits for oil companies----it is just "their turn", this time, and you can share in that, as stock holders.

Viva Baja!!!!
