Pemex Gas Stations....
Thought I gave you a better idea of what is happening.
There are very specialized units in the government, formed by members of Profeco and Pemex.
Profeco is a government agency that regulates the honest operation of businesess in Mexico.
Pemex, you all know, is the government department that produces and supply all fuel in Mexico.
These units make special visits, randomly, all around the Pemex gas stations in Mexico, their visits are unannounced, and usually sweep a specific
area at one time and then move to other parts of the country.
Well, these revisions (called "Volantas Profeco-Pemex")... are empowered to check all the operations process of a gas station, but they mainly focus
on checking the "size" of the liters dispensed at the pumps and the internal processes of keeping inventories.
If they do not approve of something, they have the power to shut down the gas station.
A couple of hours ago (right now is 10:46 pm, march 16th), I talked to my family in Santa Rosalia and they told me the gas station is completely shut
down... and that there is a lot of confussion there, because this is the only supply of fuel in town.
As how long it will take to be open again... well it depends on the reason for the shutdown, and how fast the owner approaches the solution... it can
take from a couple of days to several months.
Since there is no other gas station there, it is my believe they will try to make a fast compromise to begin operations again.
I hope this gives you a new perspective my friends.
