Petrol $$$

It's time to start thinking about my annual trek to palm canyons and Gulf beaches. It's a tough decision this year. Do I continue to vacation in Baja and worry my friends and family sick. Or do I consider someplace else in the southwest?

For the first time in five years cost is coming into play. So, what is the current cost of fuel in Baja? I need to start putting together a budget.

Thanks.

With the peso 14:1- everything in Mexico is on a 30% off sale... so why go anywhere else?! I can't believe the tourist areas like Rosarito Beach and TJ aren't over run with bargain hunters. 30% off absolutley everything!

Enjoy baja, but do keep a can of wasp spray in the car to take care of any pests you may encounter.

peso today is 14.44 to the dollar,,,,, buy pesos,, dont take dollars with you ,, as most places will only give you 10 to 1

I had heard the dollar/peso ratio was very good. I always get pesos before I cross and seldom use dollars.

How much is gasoline?
