Yeah, and Monday I paid $2.75 in Waco, Tx.
California is truly getting screwed by all the regs., and all the "stuff" they cram down our throats out here.

You think that's bad??


Don't come to Canada - it's $5.77 / gallon in Vancouver !!!
... and we're a net exporter of oil.

The Alberta based Canadian Oil Sands Company takes oil out of the ground for $13.65 / barrel & sells it to the national Petrocanada oil company for $65.
Guess which national oil company owns the oil sands ? Hmmmm?

Who do you think owns the oil wells in the USA & sells it to themselves at a whopping markup? :fire:

Huh?


David,

It is a matter of 3 cents per gallon difference and it is the lowest price anywhere I have found from the border to there.

Am I missing something?

This is what Antonio posted: Magna.............$ 6.58 pesos per liter. I said 'interesting price' because 6.7 does not match what was posted as the May national price.


David, after nearly 40 years travelling in Baja and living there for 20 years, I got the gas market thing understood fairly early on. What I was trying to point out was that Primo Tapia is CHEAP compared to other locations further north to the border.

You can imagine what you want regarding enforcement of whatever the chilangos set as prices, but TJ and Rosarito Beach are a long way from there. I'm sure all the federal forces in town should be enforcing the gas price rules, but they don't seem to be interested in that aspect of law breaking.
