No state sales tax in Oregon but each jurisdiction has the right to charge their own. Currently two jusisdictions have a 7.5% sales tax.

It's Funny, I bought down my CFE power bill with the lower Peso. So when I saw your headline, I thought you were talking about POWER bill.

Don't expect to pay less for any imported goods in Mexico.

Yes.
Sadly, majority of goods - other than food items - fall into this category. Imported from either US or from China via US.

Gas must be cheaper up there than it is here in La Paz. For the last year it has been 13.57 peso's per liter and it went down to something like 13.10 or so. I have only fueled once this year and do not remember exactly. (Don't know if it is age related or attention span!!!!)

All is well in La Paz

I don't remember if it was here of Facebook, but someone posted a PEMEX bulletin that Magna was going to drop to 6.35 Pesos per liter starting January 1.

Perhaps the stations never got the memo.

I'm sure they didn't get the memo. That was an April fools joke, or the equivalent here in Mexico.

One thing that really burns my culo is that while crude prices are down to around $35 per barrel, and the US national average prices for gasoline are around, or under $2 per gallon, the folks in California are paying around $3 per gallon. The supposed reason is refinery maintenance or WTF. I absolutely believe that the California refiners are totally gaming the market.
