 Just to compare, lowest prices I found today in San Diego County was $5.49 so anyplace in Baja California is better than in (Alta) California!
 Baja means Lower, after all!

 Gas in San Felipe about 2/3 the price compared to Canada with our extra carbon taxes. Amazingly cheap still.

 I have not changed any of my travel plans due to the price of gas.  Life is too short.

 Just did a quick trip to Tijuana for a 50k trail run.  I got gas in GN, Tecate, and San Felipe.  Every station was about 21 pesos per liter.
 
 Cheaper gas and better service...got to love Mexico!

 I'm sure it helps the locals a lot.  Hopefully they can keep the prices down.

 All of the name brand stations here in Bakersfield are over $6 a gallon, some $6.59 and that's not along I-5 or the 99.

 $1 cheaper in San Diego.
 I would think bakersfield being an oil town fuel would be cheaper, less transport, etc.
 
 
 
 
 Woke!
 Hands off!

 never forget
 Mexico is a (kinda) socialist country
 gas, water, power rates are set by the government
 always eyeballing what people can afford
 
 I know socialist is evil
 but it makes life for us little guys a bit easier

 About the same - driving around I see prices around 21-22 pesos per liter, slightly higher than the posted gasoline prices.
 
 Cheapest i found on the other side was $6.09/gallon at Vallero on I5.  Chevron's were as high as $6.69
