I totally agree, and have stated that very fact on a number of occasions on this site. I come to Mexico as a guest and abide with what it is, not try
to change it to my image.

I'm not sure what you mean. Is yours a reference to keeping the standard of living at a predetermined level?

No, Dennis. Not 'keeping', making, fixing, or trying to alter or change a single thing... just accepting what is, and living with it in the now.
Quite simple actually.

But...things change, for everybody. Gas and food prices....everything. We have to be aware of these things and make the responsible adjustments for
those who depend upon us as much as we depend upon them.

To Woody- Nationalizing US oil would result in the very same problem that Mexico is facing. It is a highly valued international commodity. While I do
hate the fact that US gas prices are manipulated by the commodity traders for their own profit, I fear that for the exploration and drilling side, the
idea of a cap on profits would stop further exploration and development.
To bajabuddha, Buddha was not a Muslim, and therefore did not pray to Allah. Siddhartha fundamentally started a religion. And for anyone curious about
the history of world religions, he was also supposedly born of a virgin and that was five centuries beofore the birth of Christ. long before Allah was
a twinkle.

Bajahowodd, you CAN'T be that much of a marooon, my friend. I chose that handle because i love Baja and i have a big belly, SO RASCA EL BUDDHA POR
SUERTE. Besides, The Buddha said anyone calling themselves that, kill them on the spot. I'm very familiar with all religions, and subscribe to none,
because they all control and manipulate, and i choose to think for myself. Have a nice day. sheesh.

Do any of you people who come down here to visit Mexico (and dont want to change a thing) actually have any Mexican friends down here?
The majority of MEXICANS I know WOULD like to see lots of changes.
You think living with corrupt cops, iffy public services, expensive motor fuels and outrageous prices on imported goods (of which most everything
except food IS) is something the average Mexican willingly embraces??????
Get real. This aint no paradise if you're scraping by on a few hundred pesos per day, especially if you're raising a family AND your aging parents.

At 11.50 to the dollar, about $3.95/ gallon, yes?
I remember by friend with a diesel rabbit (1980-ish) going to Tijuana once a week to fill up for 19 cents/ gallon.

Gasoline with 10% ethanol will typically see a 3-4% reduction in fuel
economy, while e-85 which is 85% ethanol will cause a 25-30% reduction in fuel economy.

facts on gas for Bob
I have to know fuels for what I do as a living (master mechanic/eletricain) and besides as a known fact... I also have many trips crossing the border
to try the "other"fuel....when I was a young lad in Baja the gas was bad !! Now I fill up on the TJ side before going back to the states....And I also
see the results of eth in all fuel systems...aka phase separation and a list of problems,,,so much so that the gov will not let be used in aircraft
!! they know that planes would be falling left and right.......K&T

More good news....
I believe the 16% IVA was passed and that too will impact gas prices.
Can someone tell me this is misinformation?

If the IVA passes that the President wanted, it would apply to sales of homes, food, medicines and now gasoline too?
This could be a deal changer.
