Sounds like all of Antonio's efforts have gone to hell in his absense? I hope he is alright, as it has been over a month since he last emailed with me or posted on Nomad...

Wow thats pretty cheap. Since I go into SD every day I have been filling up there instead of TJ. I'm a little uncomfortable putting pemex gas into my relatively new car. Currently gas is around $3.60/gallon for premium in SD.

YOU will need to drive to Rosarito or beyond for the cheap gasoline price!

To 20 km. from the border line, all Pemex stations are locked into an agreement they insisted on when U.S. gas was cheaper: That gas prices match U.S. border area gas prices.

Pemex refuses to cancel the deal with border zone stations now that U.S. gas is higher in price.
