Propane sold here by the delivery trucks are all priced the same as per Mexican Law. It is fixed. And the propane is sold by the weight in Kilograms,
and not in gallons volume at the Global and Calgas propane sites.
The big green bottle I just paid for cost 420 pesos for a 45 kilo size.
A gallon of propane weighs 1.9 kilograms.
So the 45 kilos is converted to 23.68 gallons and 40 dollars paid for it.
The answer is 1.69 dollars for 1 gallon.
There are several of those new propane only "gas" stations on Hwy 1 between SJCD and CSL, and I haven't ever seen a car, truck in one of them filling
up. Just no business, but there they are.
I also had a pick-up back in the early 70's that ran on propane(converted). Held 125 gallons. Then the cost ran 16 cents US, a gallon.
I got fuel in Mulege many times at Casa Yee,
Saludos,,,,mc

Sale by Weight or volume ?
Speaking only for the Mexicali to San Felipe area, I have yet to see ANY location that sells propane other than per LITRO. The prices listed at the
Bulk Plants AND on the delivery trucks are per LITRO. The flow meters that measure the gas delivered are calibrated in LITROS. I have NEVER seen a
location where the gas was priced or metered by weight.

to expand geographically a bit
checked receipts revealed MH took on"Gaspasa's" LPG in March this year at Mazatlan, for 4.75 pesos per litro. We fill on the left side.
Earlier, in January, a portable propane tank was filled at Cihuatlan by "Global Gas." This purchase was measured by weight and 4 kilos cost 33.28
pesos.

The Loreto tank farm sells by weight. Your tank is put on the scale prior to filling and you can see the exact weight your paying for.

El Rosario...
TomS,
I just arrived from El Rosario...the Internet service at BajaCactus is almost ready...
I asked about the business hours for the propane station in El Rosario and they told me it is all week from 8:00 am to 3:00pm.
However, I checked up while I was there and it was closed at different hours every day....I do not know if something happened this week or if this is
a usual bahaviour...
Hope this info helps...
