In the old days I had a Chevy with a 454, and two tanks. I would run all thru Baja on a single tank using an additive, and save the last of the US
gas for the run up the grade out of Santa Rosalia. Pinging was an issue, and I didn't want to stop and retard the timing. Nowadays, I have an 06 F150
4x4 with the 5.4L motor, and don't worry about a thing. Haven't measured the milage, but seems to run just fine, and never had a problem. Even with
a camper and pulling a trailer with toys, it does just fine. Might be silly, but I measure my milage by time. I get about 2 hrs to a 1/4 tank.
Pretty scientific huh? Whenever my buddy and I are driving together, I seem to use just a tad less gas than he does. He has a Chev 3/4 ton with all
the bells and whistles. 
I yam what I yam and that\'s all what I yam.

I used to think Mexican gas was inferior. Now I arrive with an empty gas tank so I can fill 'er up at a reduced/subsidized price. No issues
whatsoever.

The mirror thing seems like a challange
of sorts. The only reason your buddy is in your mirror is to make sure you get to where you're going. It's an age thing.

Been running regular Pemex gas in my Dodge V10 PU and dune buggies for 15 years. Had to replace on fuel pump but the Dodge has 218,000 miles on it so
I can hardly blame Pemex gas as I have heard it happens in the old country too.
Years ago there was some hot tub talk that the gas in San Felipe, comes to us from Long Beach. Yep, they guilty individual said it is piped to
Mexicali and trucked to San Felipe. Don't know or care if that is true, just passing it on.

Land Rover or the Dodge Ram............
Not difference on power or engine noise.
Fact is also.......we use regular fuel for all the cars ...........not the premium stuff...here in the states.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
