Still cheaper than California and their prices are also going to go up for the summer.

I just try to be happy that they can put 22.5 liters in my 20 liter can. Really amazing how they do that. More fuel for my moto.
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

Might just be of interest to someone driving around Baja. Who cares about gas prices in Uraguay?

the gas price changes monthly...it fixed by the government...
its nice to know the price to budget a vacation but "it is what it is"
you cant "shop around" like in the states...I think this is WAY nicer
the gas is clean and trouble free...the "old days" are gone
99% of the time you get a gallon for a gallon and anyone who says they got "cheated" needs to prove it...the pumps are fine and computer operated

Just because you don't care doesn't mean others don't. Don't be so self centered.
Bob or Susan - Since I fill fuel jugs, I still find computerized pumps pumping incorrect amounts of fuel.

Bob, what do you mean prove it. Do you want video? Really, honestly, and please take my word on this 'cause I'm a nice guy; I filled a 20 liter can
last week. It is marked on the side of the can in graduated lines. I had him stop at 20 on the can. It said 22.5 on the pump.
Granted I have not calibrated the can. But I assume it is pretty close. This has happened at other stations in San Jose del many times. Your "prove
it" tone in your post makes me think that you feel I am making this up, and is rather insulting. You are wrong.
I was trying to add a little levity, with the understanding that we are not going to do much about rising gas prices. Sad but true, we and the rest
of the world are just going to have to adapt.
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

Whenever proof is given, here come the specious excuses like hot fuel and expanded plastic containers, etc. Why bother explaining that so many of us
have experienced this and so many pumps have been shut down for a period of time?
On my trip to the States last week, I paid as low as 3.53 for diesel in AZ. In fact, outside of CA, diesel was lower than the mid grade and the
premium gasoline prices. It wasnt like that the last time I was in the States.
So, diesel in Mexico is now more expensive than diesel in AZ.
I saw regular unleaded as low as 3.07 in AZ. That's WAY cheaper than Mexico, now.
This incremental price rise in fuels was supposed to bring it up to some type of "world market" price. It appears that Mexico is now regulating fuel
prices to their advantage now. It only "seems" a bargain if you are used to CA prices.
All price comparisons assume a 12.5/1 exchange rate, which is probably a realistic figure right now.

It was supposed to become "unfixed" at some point. But this is the Federal Government's cash cow, so dont hold your breath.
This really grinds the poor and lower middle class workers in Mexico. Fuel higher than in a border state?
At least along the AZ border, the border surcharge in Mexico is now a gouging.

My wife and I - and puppy - are planning to trip to Tuxpan, Nayarit in the not too distant future. As my XTerra gets a little over 18 mpg, I've been
trying to figure out a gas budget. I was counting on about $4 per gallon so I wasn't far off.
1,390+/- one way.
