MitchMan - 8-28-2013 at 09:00 AM

Weird, isn't it? the price of crude per barrel is at a current high at $110 USD, but prices for gas have been holding steady

www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.cfm?id=22&t=10‎

The national average retail price of a gallon of regular gasoline in July 2013 was $3.59. The four main components of the retail price and approximate shares of the total price were

1.Crude Oil: 70%. The cost of crude oil as a share of the retail price varies over time and among regions of the country. Refiners paid an average of about $105.00 per barrel of crude oil, or about $2.51 per gallon.
2.Refining Costs and Profits: 12%
3.Distribution, Marketing, and Retail Costs and Profits: 7%
4.Taxes: 12%. Federal excise taxes were 18.4 cents per gallon and state excise taxes averaged 23.47 cents per gallon.

the Agil station in rosarito is $3.47 for verde @ 12.70

Looks like the days of "cheap" Mexican gas are over. Soon people will be crossing over into the US to fuel up in San Diego. Times change...........

chuckie - 8-28-2013 at 10:33 AM

The bad news is they would have to leave Baja..cheaper gas is not a good enough reason....

Crude is at a 27 month high, if the ill conceived attack on Syria proceeds as expected, it is projected to send crude prices to $150 a barrel. It's no mystery why the Saudis are pushing for intervention in Syria. As soon as the first cruise missile hits Damascus, you can bet we'll see a dramatic spike in fuel prices.

I had to return to Bullhead City for a couple of days and the price for regular is $3.15/gal at the Maverick with a 2cent discount.
Cheap gas is surely not a good reason to come back in the summer

MICK - 8-28-2013 at 05:14 PM

thruout Baja this week gas was 11.38-11.54 per liter

rts551 - 8-28-2013 at 06:47 PM

11.38 for magna , 11.86 for premium and 11.78 for diesel per liter when i filled up last week.

woody with a view - 8-28-2013 at 07:01 PM

$3.34 in Yuma and falling steadily.

DaliDali - 8-28-2013 at 09:01 PM

Interesting tidbits:

In the last full month of the G. Bush presidency, gas was at $1.68 a gallon.
When Obama was sworn in as president in January of 09, gas was $1.78 a gallon.
Now it bounces around at over double that price.

MitchMan - 8-28-2013 at 10:03 PM

Bush/Chaney really suck.

Let's see now, during which administration did we suffer the worst attack on American Soil since WWII and during which administration did we suffer the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression costing the loss of Trillions in wealth to this country and other countries, and during which administration did we Americans get pulled into an unfunded war that was all based on a false premise resulting in Trillions in National Debt and costing the lives of over 4,000 American soldiers ?

Now THAT really sucks!

my facturas show...

let's see:
At 11.38 pesos per liter x 3.7854 liters per gallon = 43.08 peso per gallon and 43.08 pesos divided by todays official exchange rate of 13.3 peso per USD = $ 3.24 US.
That PEMEX station is only giving you 12.3 pesos exchange rate.

DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TOTAL PESO AMOUNT OR THE NUMBER OF LITERS PURCHASED ARE SHOWN ON THE FACTURA IS BUT THE TOTAL PESO AMOUNT DIVIDED BY THE NUMBER OF LITERS SHOULD EQUAL 11.38 SINCE THAT'S THE OFFICIAL Pemex RATE FOR MAGNA. SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT A HELLUVA DEAL.
Using the official rate of 11.38 peso per liter x 3.7854 liters per gallon = 43.08 pesos per gallon and 43.08 divided by 12.5 pesos per USD = 3.45 USD per gallon.

Bob and Susan - 8-29-2013 at 09:03 AM

yup...you're right
i'm wrong

my numbers were BEFORE taxes

11.38 per liter is correct

According to the Punta Banda Bulletin board the official rate as of 8/29/2013 is:

1 U.S. dollar = 13.3169978 Mexican pesos.
Also, themoneyconverter.com/USD/MXN.aspx shows the current rate as of 11:00 AM today at MXN/USD = 13.29629

and Banco de Mexico shows it at:
08/29/2013
13.3104


Where did you get the different rates for TJ and Rosarito?

That site shows "Tipo de Cambio actual: $12.70" which is not the official government exchange rate I have been using but I just don't understand why the price per liter in TJ and Rosarito would be less than Ensenada since its usually a little more in the border area. Maybe the site is not current since it does not have a date?

durrelllrobert - 8-29-2013 at 12:02 PM

In fact when you go to that site and click on "INFOAGIL" and then "EventosAgil" they only event they are showing is on 11 Julio.

12.70 X 4 X 94.64% / 13.00 = 3.69824

So solly. Slight difference. The 94.64% is a 4 liters to 1 gallon conversion ratio.

Moot point anyway as BTT ATM or Casa de Cambio fees are included, pinning it down is like chasing shadows.

Since I live in Mexico I always pay in pesos that I get from the ATM. Yesterday I withdrew 6,000 pesos (6,022 with commission) and my bank deducted $449 from my account. 6,022 pesos divided by $449 = 13.41 peso/ $.
I then went to my local PEMEX and filled my (33 gallon) tank with110 liters of magna for a total cost of 1294 pesos = 11.76 peso/ liter = $3.31/ gal.

DavidE - 8-30-2013 at 02:52 PM

Welcome to shadowland. It's the tipo de cambio and the pump price of the fuel that affected the conversion I addressed. You mileage may vary.

You got that right. I use BofA ATM to get my pesos from Santander bank. Cannot find anyone at BofA or Santander that knows the exact exchange rate that such a withdrawal will reflect. Usually the rate that is used is the same for the entire day, but no one knows what it is. I have been told that going to the BofA website or going to the Visa credit card website will have it...it doesn't.

I do know that it is usually close to the Visa Credit Card website rate; usually within $0.06 MXN centavos. Also, I do know that the rate is usually a very good rate at any given point in time. Very happy with this arrangement as there are no fees charged and the exchange rate is always among the best rates available.

The only reason gas in Baja is close to $3.25 USD/gal today is because the exchange rate in recent days has risen above 13.3, not because the Mexican price of gas has fallen (Pemex prices per liter has steadily increased every month for a long time now).

Also, what price you pay in USD equivalency in Baja depends on what you pay for your pesos.
