The answer is blowin' in the wind.
The fuel barges are having a hard time getting across from the mainland because of all the wind.
Or, there's an outside chance that it's Bush's fault.............

Spent last night at Baja Cactus Motel in El Rosario (pretty cold) and topped off with diesel this morning after first filling in Mulege yesterday
afternoon. Dense fog for fifty miles north. All stations in Vizcaino, GN, El Rosario, San Quentin, etc had diesel. We saw lines yesterday at
Mulege, Vizcaino, and GN for gas, not for diesel. El Rosario had plenty gas as did all other stations north.
Travelers need not worry. This shortage will not last long..it has happened many times before..... and actually reminds me of a better time in Baja!

Odd, I saw no signs of any 'panic' from any motorists while driving from Cabo to Ensenada. Unless by 'panic' you mean the locals feverishly sucking
up all the gas they can while they can.
A suggestion: Maybe think about getting a diesel car or truck. I get about 21mpg on a 35 gal tank....lotsa miles between fuel stops. In a pinch we
can have a fish fry and with just a little work use the cooking oil in the engine!

Im sure the fire dept. will laugh when I tell them your good suggestion. if the cooking oil thing was really practical I am sure you would have just
made your round trip using only old taco oil

We did try that cooking oil as a fuel, but the border patrol told us that we would have to leave the 250 Baja dogs that had been following us behind.

Have a old acquaintance in Scottsdale, AZ running two diesel VWs on the stuff. He's the one that gave me the URL above. Told me some of his "supply"
secrets in AZ.

I thought all the Pemex fuel (gas, diesel) on the peninsula was transported from either La Paz or Rosarito/Ensenada bulk plants. I am not aware of
any transport via barge through Santa Rosalia.
Anyone have further information on this?
Thanks,

I wish to repeat my question. I've seen further posts that allude to a barge with fuel coming into
Santa Rosalia, but this article addressing the shortage as being because of a tanker that's late into La Paz kinda confirms my previous information:
http://www.bcsnoticias.com/DIC15110602.htm
I just wish to have accurate knowledge - and reports are conflicting with my previous knowledge and news reports.

According to an attendant at the Pemex Santa Rosalia, the gasoline here comes from La Paz. In what fashion, truck or barge, I could not get a
straight answer.

The reports on here had to do with a barge coming with fuel from the mainland - not La
Paz.
It gets trucked from La Paz.

I made a trip to Guerrero Negro yesterday...Dec.15 and all Pemex stations were closed...no lines as they don't know when they will have gas. I heard
an interesting rumor though from the neighbours of the gas station....they claim the owners of these stations are in debt and that Pemex will not sell
them any more fuel until they pay...hmmm?? In Vizcaino at 5:00 pm there was a very long line and no gas getting pumped. Luckily we had gas in Asuncion
2 days ago when I filled up but now they too have run out but say that Vizcaino was getting gas last night....don't know if it happened though.

Fuel at El Rosario
Al G,
We have no problems with fuel at El Rosario... plenty of gasoline. We have bigger than usual storage tanks and so far we have been able to have a
continuous supply of fuel for several years now.

Report from my office on Highway 19, 18 miles south of Todos Santos and 30 miles north of Cabo. Seven (7) fuel trucks went south to Cabo today. There
could of been more, but might have not noticed. Called main office in Cabo and they stated that yeterday there were lines in gas stations, this
morning no lines and gas not a problem. Saludos!

That could be interesting about some stations not getting fuel as we have heard that Guerro Negro (highway), Vizcaino, San Ignacio, Santa Rosalia, and
Mulege (south on highway), are all owned by the same person and this is the guy who has had trouble keeping his pumps accurate and has been shut down
on several of the stations for inaccurate deliveries.
But the word from the employees is that the barge bringing fuel from La Paz had a problem crossing so the trucks were unable to haul fuel North. If
my information is correct, Antonio at Baja Cactus, (El Rosario) gets his gas from Ensanada so he would not be affected by a La Paz shortage. When they
start hauling, the southern stations get it first.
Today, Saturday, there were long lines but they were selling gas, and in the afternoon they ran out of Magna here in Santa Rosalia and Mulege but
still had Premium.
