Can you confirm the protesters are or are not blocking gas tanker trucks from leaving the P-nche port as of today 1/5?

Don't count on it. Traditionally, the government allows, even encourages, peaceful protest from citizens as well as unions. It's a method of blowing
off steam before an explosion.

One has to wonder how long it will stay "peaceful" ? Millions of people have to be feeling the pinch by now...

Good luck everyone. I just bought a bunch of oil stocks and going to buy some more tomorrow in anticipation of gas prices taking off in the u.s.

A bit South of the info you requested but as of today in Mulege the downtown station was out of gas (not uncommon in the best of times) and the
station two miles South of town had gas.
I'm pretty sure that in town station has no dip stick and just waits until the tank is empty to deal with it.
Much of the time the upsets here make up in intensity what they lack in longevity.
I just hunker down and find something else to fuss about.

Both gas stations are open right now in Bahia De Los Angeles. Just got back from a day trip to Guerrero Negro and all stations are pumping there
also. Same for Jesus Maria. Gas in cans available this afternoon at BOLA junction.

I heard from a reliable source that this gasoline protest is going to persist, signs are that it is amping up and has staying power.
Also heard from one traveling southbound that arrived today, and travel time was effectively doubled.
The world is going to heck in a handbasket! (and it may all be *****'s fault - gotta start practicing that blame aspersion, so it rolls off the tongue
and off the fingertips easily)

Big protest
30 minutes ago. Got a text from my son in SF. No gas. Station owners refusing to order gas due to price increase. Long lines of cars waiting now.
His message said be sure to fill up before heading south. N PMEX has cars way up the highway waiting.
TV news said 20% increase effective Jan 1.

Update.
The SF Ejido PMEX had 60000 ltrs available. Owner says it will last 4-5 days. Chris said he now has full tank to let him get back to CA.
Very big lines in the town stations. I guess they will run out soon?
Major events in town causing much hysteria.

Yes, it was on Jan. 1st, I bought gas at L.A. Bay on the 2nd and had to do a double-take on the amount of pesos it took compared to just a couple days
before when I last filled up.
It was 13.98/ L on Dec. 30 and 16.17/L on Jan. 2, but that is just over a 15% increase.

For all the peninsula travelers it seems that Guerero Negro, Jesus Maria, and the stations in Vizcaino are the critical places to get fuel, and fill
your jerry cans.......Does anyone know if these places are receiving fuel deliveries???? With all the agriculture going on I'd imagine trucks have to
be getting thru somehow...........Its like the baja of old, not sure when or where gas will not be available

I've not been paying attention down here in La Ventana. Yesterday we noticed that there was a long line at the Pemex and I found out about the
protests. I decided to hit up the pemex outside of town towards Los Planes. The attendant told me that they will pump gas until they run out which
will probably be today.
Has anybody heard anything about air travel being disrupted?
