Lee......A good quick reference for the Mexican Mainland, but note from the site you attached:
b]"These are Mexican gas and diesel prices in most of Mexico (the interior) - not the border, Baja or Quintana Roo."

If you are traveling from California, it really doesn't matter much, as the prices in California have been constantly creeping up. The latest is refinery maintenance. It's gonna be cheaper in Baja. Of course.

Are Mainland prices far from Baja prices?

In Bakersfield they are over $3 a gallon and going up. I need a trip south.

Thanks for the information. I was tempted to load up in San Diego but waited and filled up in Rosarito. San Diego Shell gas was $3.17/gal. and gas in Mexico was about $2.25/gal. Such a difference!!

What's that in gallons USD? Think it's cheap. I can't do basic math.

I'm sorry. But, as I watched this thread progess, I had to wonder if this is for informational purposes or what? Like, are gas prices going to make you change your plans?

To budget or not to budget

Don't be sorry. Unlike those who don't care what gas prices are, when gas get's up about $4.00/gallon again, I'll be driving less and making plans accordingly. Like how much does it cost to drive my RV 1,000 miles at 10 miles per gallon. When I budget, I include the cost of everything. If you don't have to budget, good for you.

I get your point. However, the Mexican government has taken an active role in controling gas prices. I've heard that an increase is in the works. But just based upon the government control, nothing could happen there like it does NOB when greedy speculators drive up the price for profit. You will not be seeing price swings of $1-2 dlrs a gallon down there. At least not in the foreseeable future. BTW, Lee, what do you have going on in Pescadero? It's a great spot.

AND... because Baja does not have refining capability the Mexican crude gets shipped to California, is refined and then shipped back down here to sell for almost $1/gal less:P:P
