Young men, muchahas, cerveza, musica y dinero....
The temptation can be overwhelming. Just the mere sight of your calculator keeps muchachos who might stray, in line.
"Aqui lo tiene, quinientos pesos" (Here it is five hundred pesos) as I hand them a 500 bill, works too.
When they announce the amount, reply with the amount of money you are handing over as your hand with the cash reaches for theirs. This is extremely
polite, and lets them know, you know, what's going on.
FIVE US CENTS A GALLON BETWEEN PREMIUM AND REGULAR MAGNA. I'm going to call the Shell Oil, Deer Park Texas refinery this morning and ask them (key
work ASK) if Shell Deer Park is adding their Nitrogen additive to Mexican fuel.

Are these prices at the border stations?
Last weekend, from Ensenada south, including Antonio's Baja Cactus', Magna was 9.87. That's almost 1/2 peso in a week!

Speaking of Antonio's Baja Cactus.....The cashier (young guy) tried to screw me when he gave me my change 2 days ago. I called him on it, he got all
embarrassed and then gave me the correct change. Not the end of the world as it was only a few bucks, but no longer on my list of reputable places in
baja anymore. That list keeps getting shorter all the time! Just be aware.... |
Did you ask to speak with Antonio? Let attendents know you know their boss...
He wants to know of ANY problems Nomads have with his station or motel and does the best he can to fix it. Employees may do things without the
employers knowledge, afterall. However, there is a live web cam inside the office of both the Pemex station and motel, and the people involved and
money drawers are visible. Please record the time and date of the event.

No, didn't report it to Antonio - didn't have the time. DK, perhaps you could mention it to him?

Just do it now, as you know when it happened and can provide more details... Use the San Diego Baja Cactus phone number and leave a message for
Antionio to call you back if he isn't there. 619-694-1082

There is a lot of un-information about México on the internet and I thought a source of corroboration would be appreciated about my offering of
information about Mexican fuel. Below is some official information. Hope it helps.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Curtis represented P.M.I. Services North America, Inc. and P.M.I. Trading Limited, subsidiaries of Petróleos Mexicanos, the Mexican national oil
company (Pemex), in the formation of a joint venture with Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (Magellan) to construct an
840,000 barrel petroleum products terminal outside of Houston, Texas. P.M.I. Services and Magellan each will own a fifty percent interest in the joint
venture company, Texas Frontera LLC, which will build and operate the facility. The terminal's capacity will be leased to P.M.I Trading.As part of the
venture, P.M.I. Trading entered into a long-term through-put agreement with Magellan to ship refined products through Magellan's Longhorn Pipeline
System. The system runs from Houston to El Paso, Texas, where it connects to a pipeline completed recently by P.M.I. Services that crosses the border
into Mexico at Ciudad Juarez. The joint venture enhances Pemex's capacity to supply gasoline from the U.S. to markets in Northern Mexico, including
products refined at the 340,000 barrel-per-day fuels refinery in Deer Park, Texas jointly owned by Pemex and Shell Oil Company. The transaction closed
on July 27, 2010.The Curtis team was led by partner Daniel Lenihan and counsel Kim Sheikh with support from associates Cristina Ramos in Houston and
Oreste Cipolla in New York. Tax matters were handled by partner Eduardo Cukier and associate Kristin Konschnik. Partner Andrew Otis advised on
environmental matters.
