Sometimes certain foods at certain times can almost relate to my wrongly used word. haha Good catch.

As long as we're thread drifting....does the gas in Baja have ethanol in it?

Mexico does use oxygenates in gasoline. Mexico still uses MBTE (and some other oxygenates) in gasoline. MBTE was banned in USA, but Mexico still
uses it.
I think a few years ago there was an attempt to use more ethanol in mexican gasoline, but it got shot down (probably due to lobbying by MTBE
mfgs/vendors). I think ethanol is used in Mexican gasoline, but it is capped at certain percentages by region.
Mexico does have seasonal and regional requirements for gasoline,….
FYI, use of ethanol in gasoline results in pretty minor decrease in mileage, about 3% decrease for 10% ethanol.
Ethanol is beneficial, as it allows refiners to produce lower quality gasoline and rely on ethanol to increase the octane rating,… and ethanol in
gas makes the gas cleaner burning, better for the environment and our lungs.
Woke!

Corn belongs in tortillas not in car engines.
The production of ethanol has turned out to be far more harmful to the environment than using gasoline without it.
Ethanol is also not a good thing in your motor... it lowers the energy output and thus delivers fewer miles per gallon. How is using more gasoline
better?
In Mexico, my 16 mpg Tacoma gets 18 mpg or better.

I'll ask the terminal I service in the USA who supposedly sends gas loads into Baja if the gasoline has ethanol.

After talking to the fuel depot yesterday, he said they are no longer sending gas loads to Mexico. When they were sending loads of gasoline, it did
not include ethanol. Just following up on my promise to ask….

Google is your friend
Sources of gasoline for Baja
The marine Baja terminal.
The terminal is located at the La Jovita Energy Center, located 23 kilometers north of Ensenada, Baja California.
Sempra Energy, a San Diego-based energy services holding company delivers liquid fuels to the terminal produced by British Petroleum.
Andeavor, another refiner, also delivers to this marine terminal and supplies gas stations like ARCO, BP. And Exxon and probably others?
ARCO is marketing so called Top Tier stuff, but it all comes from the same source in Ensenada.
The terminal also supplies diesel probably the same diesel sold in the USA. Now days all diesel refined in the USA is Ultra low Sulphur.

Is there a current thread here that lists stations between border and Loreto that have diesel? After decades of travel down there, I'm finally in a
diesel rig.
