Gas Prices

phoenix2121 - 11-9-2008 at 12:16 PM

What are the gas prices in the Tijuana/Rosarito area lately? It's been a while since I've seen the website I go to updated...

We're at $2.09 a gallon here in St. Louis, and I'm thrilled... haven't seen gas this low in a few years.

I bought $20 (240 pesos) of gas at La Rumorosa (12 peso per dollar) for 33 litres (8.7 gallons) or $2.30/ gallon.

Thanks for the fuel report David!
As you know, the Presidente has ordered a gradual fuel price increase so that it comes somewhat closer to what US consumers are paying. Perhaps we can now hope for lower prices soon, just as we have experienced here in the US.

Wow, thats close to our prices. I paid $2.36 or $2.39 the other day in El Cajon, CA

My last tankful (~17 gal.) of Chevron cost $2.55/gal here in Riverside. $2.43 is the lowest I have seen at the local Arco station. But, I feel the extra .12/gal. ($1.92) is worth the cleaner Chevron fuel on my Jeep's engine.

Dang, I can't afford to travel to Baja now. I used to go there because I could at least afford the fuel. $2.19 here in New Mexico and continuing to fall. Utah is sounding more attractive for vacation.

$2.35 today at Costco, Vista (San Diego north county)... ARCOs are at ~$2.45

thebajarunner - 11-11-2008 at 09:14 PM

$2.21 all over Modesto today....

Chevron gas is cleaner????
Probably not,
regardless of the company line,
most of that stuff comes out of just a couple of sources,
the name may be different but the gas is the same.

I saw a $2.37 In Ontario, CA today 11/11/2008

msawin - 11-11-2008 at 10:01 PM

$2.17 in Yuba City last week... $2.19 in marysville across the river...

$2.12 at Safeway here in Redding at the far north end of the Central Valley, CA.

Do you think the news media will apologize to the greedy oil companies now that gas has dropped almost $3.00/gal? If the oil companies are so greedy, why didn't they just set the price around $5.00 and let it float in a narrow range.

I rarely agree with the media when it involves politics or economics!

So does anyone know the current gas prices in baja?

This is posted above your question: "On 11-2-08 (posted on the trip reports forum):]

Today (11/12/08) I got gas in Loreto at $7.25 pesos/ltr. At 3.76 ltrs/gal. that's 27.26 pesos/gal. Changed money today in Loreto at Bancomer at 13.25pesos/dollar. That makes gas in Loreto $2.06 USD. Heading home in a few days so I guess I won't worry about filling my tank just before I cross the border.

Still $2.42 a gallon for regular here in Yuma today.

Usually the Yuma prices are close to the US national average (which is now $2.22), and lower than SoCal. But not currently.

First time I've seen Yuma prices higher than California.

Shell Island is south of San Felipe... maybe 4 hours from La Mision... There's a whole lot of Baja for you to explore!

As for gas prices, $2.31 at a station in Oceanside, today (Mission & Douglas)

Our gas prices in the Pacific NW are still up around $2.39-$2.49

We're usually a bit higher than the rest of the state, probably because of the tourists

bajalou - 11-12-2008 at 09:18 PM

at about 12.5 to one, it's about 2.19 in San Felipe

Usually the arco at sycamore, just south of 78 is good. Mission is a bit far and not worth the distance. Yes, i have a lot to explore in Baja! Still looking for coconuts at less than $3.

Am/PM and Fasttrip here are now $2.19 gal cash with Fasttrip at $2.33 credit. It's been dropping about 3-5 cents every couple of days.

Just came back from Chula Vista-$2.25 and dropping. Nice to know I am getting exactly what I pay for,even if I did have pump it myself.

Udo - 11-13-2008 at 04:37 PM

Just filled up in San Bernardino, CA Sam's Club 11/13/2008: $2.18!

Ken Cooke - 11-14-2008 at 12:01 AM

I paid $2.39/gal at a Chevron in Riverside. The upside was, I filled my Rubicon for $35!! :tumble:
