Pemex Gas

roundtuit - 4-7-2013 at 09:33 AM

Stopped at Pemex south of Mulege and bought 100 liters of gas. Measured it out at the house and got 94.65 Figure the math. Was a hot day, lost 5.35 liters from evaporation in a 12 mile drive

You are obviously overdue for a tune up :lol:

Not bad actually, only 5% ripped off. Stations here around TS take 10 - 12 %. Not just the gringos but they rip off their own poor neighbors. What a mentality!

Leo, The ejido station N of Todos is much better than the one in town or the one in Pescadero. Last time I filled my 19 liter container in Pescadero, they managed to squeeze 26.4 liters into it.

The newer station on Jurez in Loreto is fairly accurate, but the others get you for about 10 to 12 % ...Once a month I take my 5 gal (18.9 litre) container to check which one has changed during the month..When I ask how they got 24 liters in the container, their reply is "it must be your lucky day"...they don't get it???

Who gets what?

Yes they get it, they are just hoping you don't!!

you are wrong...I check them all the time...spot on at that station

you really need a 4 liter container to check accurately

Yesterday I used a marked one gallon container and converted through a internet web site maybe my hughes net conversion site is wrong. I put 20 liters in each can and ended up with 5 gallons.:?::?::?:

Maybe you can go back and make a video again?? I loved that last time. If they're shorting people they deserve the ridicule, and a call to..............................not sure who to call. Do you know? It would be great for future complaints.

Could It Be Due To Different Pumps?

PEMEX, is chortling they have a new pump model waiting that is absolutely sealed, tagged and rigged so the only thing the gasolinistas can do is change the display price on the dispenser. No data port to access liter variables. Vamos a ver. Wouldn't it be nice?

Next trip to that SAME pump, trying ordering 19 LITERS and see what you get :)

Actually 1 gallon [US, liquid] = 3.785 411 784 liter so if they get 4 liters in it you are still overcharged by 5.36%

i tested my gas station today...remember i'm only a simpleton:lol:

I bought 3 liters of regular and put them in this gallon water jug
(pump number 2)

I dumped the gas back into a gas can and filled the jug with water...
I used 3 liters to fill it

the "pour" look pretty close to me :light:

another myth busted...
