Cantamar is Seven Pesos Cheaper Per Liter
Than Tijuana or Rosarito.
Ensenada is not very much cheaper, according to our gasolinero in Cantamar today.

Thanks for the information! David K always said that the gasoline from the AM/PM south along Hwy 1 was where the cheaper prices began...

The border zone for Pemex dealers was 20 km (I thought) or 12.4 miles. Rosarito South (the Am/Pm?) is south of that point... it should be the same
from there all the way to Cabo San Lucas!

$4.49/gallon in Maui during our recent vacation and going up every day there!
Today, here in San Diego, bought gas at a Shell station for $4.03/gallon (plus, I get a 5% rebate on my Shell platinum card). Big deal! Someone is
making lots of profit on this crapola!

The bad news is that everything else is going up in price also. The inflation index doesn't include energy and food costs.  How's that for voodoo economics? Getting the deja views! It's the '70s all over
again. Only thing going down in value is real estate.

8.6 pesos/liter x 3.7854 liters/gallon= 32.554 peso/gal divided by 11.923 peso/$ (todays official rate) = $2.73/ gal if you purchased pesos at
official rate

So, that is 40 centavos difference per liter (1.51 pesos per gallon difference)...
