up goes the price of Pemex gas
http://www.ensenada.net/noticias/nota.php?id=32997
It is hard to believe Mexico is raising the price of gas when the price is falling in the USA and will probably continue to fall.

Mexico vs. USA:
Pemex is the Mexican Government Monopoly on fuel production, distribution and pricing. Socialism uses no logic, and they will nearly if not totally
destroy something before returning control to the people that know better.
While it is 'popular' to talk smack about oil corporations in the USA, it is because of them we have fuel in our cars and homes everywhere in the
country... and if not for our government's greed by profiting off the oil (more so than oil companies), the price would be close to $2/ gal.

price fixing
Since the price was "fixed" at an artificially low price we should all expect it to go up with no relationship to competition. It is and will be a
money maker for the government.
need to expect the "bad" with the "good"

For years the Government of Mexico kept the price Low to advance the working People of Mexico. This new Regime don't care about the People.

Today, going South, filled up twice, El Rosario and Vizcaino and it was the same, 12.4 pesos per liter and at 13 pesos to the $ that comes to approx.
$3.61 a gallon. Everybody is in a different financial situation but for me, no sniveling and happy that it is not much higher. It's not going to keep
me from Baja but feel sorry for the local people.

Not to mention the great tax collector, the government, and only purveyor of gas an fuel, will raise taxes on it's one and only commodity as need for
money dictates.
What's wrong with this picture?

David, difference between US and Mexico is that Mexico subsidized the cost of gasoline to the benefit of the people. The US subsidizes Big Oil for
the benefit of big oil

The U.S. subsidizes big oil to maintain their own interest in it.
"Big Oil" makes $.062 on each dollar I spend for gas, U.S. taxes takes in only $.495! Big oil get 6 cents on every dollar I spend and government get
49 cents on that same gallon!!! This is one reason the price is high.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the price hike?? Sounds like maybe Pemex is in need of more revenue, but if that were the case why not drop
the price a bit and that would boost sales ?? http://www.afntijuana.info/informacion_general/24977_pemex_v...

It doesn't matter, Pemex will soon be flying free and we will start seeing Exxon, BP and other gas stations popping up in Mexico.

Maybe not. PEMEX is more to Mexico than an oil company. It's a national icon expropriated from the greedy hands of foreigners, and remains a symbol
of independence and freedom.
PEMEX won't be quietly surrendered by the rank and file to foreign interests in the future without cloaking the investments in so many layers of
constitutional gibberish as to make it indecipherable.
What would Mexico do with Expropriation Day if Standard Oil bought out PEMEX?

the socialists use logic, youjust happen to disagree with their logic!
there is nothing wrong with government using taxes or pricing to shape public policy.
what's wrong with mexico setting gas at high prices to accomplish their own goals?
you probably benefit from government freebies like mortgage interest tax deduction and dependant tax deduction and health care expense deductions,...
those tax deductions are just government social engineering disguised as tax deductions!

dk does not understand how we the people truly subsidize big oil in the USA! big oil has bought every politician in wash dc, and has rewritten tax
code to suit it's special interests... dk: you pay higher taxes because big oil does not pay fair share of taxes!

When the goat speaks about economic matters, it is certain that you are about to be enlightened in a socialistic way. I can only imagine what the
country he would design would look like. Let's see, China, Venezuela, Cuba, etc., and the list goes on.

Funny how some people think wealth comes from government... when it is just the opposite. People create wealth and government takes it away.
Capitalism creates the most opportunity and socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried.
Up with ALL Business (big and small) and down with Big Government!
