Gosh, I remember when you were just a "newbie" and you would do the math for me as so I could keep my shoes on.
Always appreciated information.

Thanks BajaCactus!
For the newest members of Baja Nomad, 'BajaCactus' (Antonio) is the owner of the Pemex (and Baja Cactus Motel) in El Rosario. Every month, the
government controlled gasoline price is raised, and Antonio posts the new figures. This price is universal in Mexico at all Pemex stations.
FYI, today in Vista (San Diego County) at an ARCO AM/PM station, I paid 1.99 & 9/10 per gallon of Regular 87 octane. Gas is cheaper in Baja!!

Gas in San Diego
I saw the price fluctuate anywhere between $1.99 and $2.35. There would often be a 20 cent difference if you drove a block over. I was shocked.
I've seen it vary 10-15 cents, but this seemed like a big difference. I guess it pays to look around. If you're filling up, that difference adds up
fast.

Thank you Antonio, I was just having fun with you.
A question I have been wondering if you would have the answer on: Is marina supplied boat fuel regulated in any fashion related to price?

believe I will be there next week. Sorry I will miss you.... nevertheless I hope you have a great time!!!....
Tim40: I know, me too........ about your question... I do not understand it
correctly, could you please explain a little bit more. If it is fuel related, I am sure I can get you an answer....

I just got back from a trip to Colorado.
There was actually a station in the little town of Lyons, 16 mile north of boulder that had 95 octane gas for $ 1.73 per gallon. Always a line to get
gas. Found out later that it was the cheapest in the state. Grand Junction, on the westen slope was 10 cents more. Yuma was 27 cents more. The worst
was at Searchlight Nevada where it was 47 cents more.
BajaCactus
What is the octane rating of Magna? Do they figure it the same as in the states? Is it really true that the price is the same all over Mexico? There
really is no reason for the price to change as much as it did on my trip except for price fixing.

Burro Bob...
Yes.... Octanes are the same as in the US.
Magna is 87 octanes
Premium is 92 octanes
The price for fuel is the same all over Mexico, regulated by Pemex. Except within 20 km south of the border, where a special comission adjusts the
price every tuesday in order to match it with US gas stations.

Antonio, I am wondering if the boat/yacht gas sold at marinas (such as the marinas in Ensenada) have their gas prices regulated much like at your gas
station?
Thank you, Tim

Ok Tim40, I understand the question now...however I do not know the exact answer. I think it must be regulated the same way....
I will give a call to the Pemex offices monday morning and ask about that and post that info for you here.....

Baja Catus, Thanks for all the info, you have cleared up a good deal of confusion about gas in Baja, all except one question.
Where does it come from? The US or Mexico? I know on the mainland that all propane comes from Odessa-Midland , Texas, it seems like you see a Mexican
propane truck every mile on the freeway coming or going for propane.
I will be sure to stop at your place when I am down south.

Marinas
I haven't been to a lot of marinas in Baja, but don't beleive I have seen one that was a Pemex dealer. At least that had a sign saying it was a Pemex
dealer. If a place is not a Pemex dealer, they can charge what you will pay - and often pay gladly.

Just to backup what BajaCactus noted...
The Magna is supposed to have a RON of 92, and a RON+MON/2 (same as the yellow sticker in the USA) of 87.
The Premium is supposed to have a RON+MON/2 (USA yellow sticker) of 92.
The Secretary of Ecology notes the Magna spec on a page at their website:
