Gas prices

chesnut - 4-7-2005 at 10:55 AM

We're strapping the kayaks on the camper next week and headed south (Gonzaga, San Fransisquito, Coyote, La Paz, Evaritso and whatever else catches our fancy). What's the damage (monetarily) going to be at the Pemex?
Thanks
Don

Gas is cheaper in Baja than it is in the states. Last I heard it's a little over 6.0 pesos per liter@ 3.8 liters per gallon for Magna sin 87 octane.
7.1 pesos per liter for 93 octane, when you can find it.
5.0 pesos per liter for diesel.
We make that same trip with kayaks every year...have fun...Gary

Filled up my diesel P/u yesterday in San Felipe and checked the price - 4.980 per liter. Magna was 6.010 a couple days ago villing up the Bronco II

expect a 1% rise in price the first of each month.

:biggrin:

On Monday afternoon, It took 363 pesos to fill my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - the same amount to fill my buddy Russ' Rubicon as well - the exchange rate used for dollars at the service station was 10x1 - Russ bought my gasoline in Pesos, but a few days earlier, I filled my tank and my 2 Jerry Cans using dollars at the 10x1 exchange rate. Baja can be great in more ways than one...

Phil S - 4-8-2005 at 07:18 PM

I just exchanged some dollars here in Loreto last week. Rate was 11.0 to 1. Travel with pesos and save yourself ten percent of the price at the service stations. Every little bit helps.

mrchuck - 4-9-2005 at 05:14 AM

Los Barriles gas price is:

Magna Sin 87 octane 6.01 pesos a liter.
Premium 92 " " 7.10 " "

After all the conversions, short pour, overbilling, the Magna-Sin will cost
you very close to 2.60 dollars a gallon.

But, no worrys here, it is just what it costs to live in Paradise and no freeways!!

wrong again Marv the cheapest thing I put in mine is My mother in law :lol:

chesnut - 4-9-2005 at 12:41 PM

We alway use pesos when we can. It makes paying for things much easier ... no conversions. Couple of years ago we went to the petroglyphs at San Fransisco (N of San Ignacio) but didn't have enough pesos or a calculator. It was real fun trying to figure out how much to pay the guide (required) when none of us were real sharp on our math. :lol:

Well, that does it......

Debra - 4-9-2005 at 09:38 PM

I'm moving to Caracas.....I was there once, long, long ago....great beachs, not too bad surf AND, maybe I can afford to go to the store to buy water :lol:

GeoRock - 4-13-2005 at 11:04 PM

You southern Californian folks should quit whinning; at least you are still way under $3. I have to pay $2.90 a gallon. And my tank is 32 gallons. OUCH

David K - 4-14-2005 at 08:06 AM

Here in North County of San Diego, it topped at $2.53 last week, and now is dropping a little... $2.51 at ARCO. I saw $2.55 at some Chevron/Mobil type stations also... they were higher before yesterday. Next to the freeway in San Diego, last Saturday was $2.97 for regular and over $3 for premium at a Shell station.

LarryB - 4-14-2005 at 08:53 AM

I have been driving my VW Rabbit turbodiesel pick up for the past 5 years. It averages 50mpg, gets 650miles per tank and takes 13 gallons per fill up. All my friends wondered why I chose the VW instead of buying a beautiful, comfortable, safe, cool, ego boosting, enormous SUV. They laughed at my "toy" truck.

Who's laughing now? :lol:

synch - 4-14-2005 at 09:46 AM

Gas was $2.55 when I filled up near LAX yesterday.

Thx, CasaManzana, really cool to see prices around the world.
Remember that one reason why gas prices are much higher outside of USA or Mexico is because those countries add heavy taxes to the gas. That is they way they pay for things in their country WHILE the USA prices mean the higher prices might be putting money into the Oil company than the Country's taxes.

BTW, First Quarter profits were UP on most Energy companies in USA...

Who's got a big barge...we could bring enough fuel back from Venezuela to last us for years in Baja...!

Paid $2.519 here in Lodi today...Stockton's cheapest are around $2.559...and the profits just keep getting bigger and bigger for the state of
Calif as these prices rise! Forget about your State income taxes...we all pay way more in taxes on our fuel than any other item! (unless you're Trump). I believe the Fed's get $ 0.14 per gal, and the state gets around $0.07 per gallon + about 8% sales tax on these inflated prices...that's a LOT of bucks every day for our various Governments!!! I may off a little on these tax numbers, but it's still BIG money for the state, and our highways are still falling apart!!! They love to suck up these fuel tax dollars in Sacramento and use them for their other pet projects.

The way around high gas prices

Barry A. - 4-14-2005 at 10:38 AM

The USA is a Capitalist nation----- No getting around that. The way to off-set the high gas prices is to invest a little savings in energy stocks-----the returns (cap gains) have WAY more than off-set the higher gas prices. Now that is the Capitalist way!!!

When in Rome, do as the Romans do, and all that stuff.

God bless the USA!!!

Works for me.

It might be interesting to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern Oil.

Importers of Middle Eastern Oil:
Shell
Chevron/Texaco
Exxon/Mobile
Marathon/Speedway
Amoco

Do Not import Mid-Eastern Oil:
Citgo
Sunoco
Sinclair
BP/Phillips
Hess
ARCO

I am not advocating any boycotts, etc...you need to do what you have to do. I don't like being a victim.

Do Not import Mid-Eastern Oil:
Pemex

Relax and Accept

MrBillM - 4-14-2005 at 08:15 PM

There's no point in whining or plotting boycotts, etc. There is nothing to be done other than switch to more fuel efficient vehicles if you want to.

It was pointed out today on a news program that China is going to suck up all of the imported oil that's available so if U.S. imports drop, it's simply more for the Chinese to get hold of.

Do you think that Richard Nixon thought this would be the result when he made the first overtures to open trade with China ?
