Regarding limited fuel sales
Isn't it easy to buy a half a tank at one Pemex (or whatever the limit is) and the balance at another? With a zillion Pemex stations, what is the
problem if there is a restriction on how much is sold at one station?

well, you have to get around the poor saps pushing their cars from one PeMex to another in search of gas first. In Rosartio there are so many new
PeMex stations you can see the next one before you push awsay from the current one. Hypothetical of course- Rosarito isn't dry yet.
"The future: A ship carrying a large supply of diesel should dock Monday at the Pemex distribution center in Rosarito Beach.Public transit operated in
TiJuana yesterday, but the short age of diesel fuel continued to idle truckers. The disruption in supply is expected to last into, next week.
Dozens of rigs transporting merchandise from other cities have been stuck on the outskirts of Tijuana, some for as long as three days.
Pemex, the national oil monopoly, began sending tanker trucks to ITjuana from Guaymas, Sonora, on Thursday, shift managers at gas stations said. The
12-hour trips are stopgap measures until the region's fuel distribution terminal in Rosarito Beach is resupplied by ship.
A news release from an association of gasoline stations confirmed that the Rosarito Beach plant would begin supplying diesel widely starting Monday. "

the problem is that it is invonvenient if people need to go to multiple service stations to fill their tanks.
the society and economy are not built around a rationing system, so some do find it "inconvenient."

A-OK in San Felipe Friday
Heading South, For the first time ever, I stopped at the New Pemex North of town. No lines. No shortage of Gas or Diesel. Same thing in town.
Everybody doing business and no lines. I looked at my two Brand-New "California" Fuel Containers filled with $50 in U.S. fuel. Oh Well. Better safe
than otherwise.
Later in the week, I AM taking ALL of my empty containers into town on my supply run. Better for ME to have control over my supply than someone else.
There are bound to be more bumps in the road from time to time.
The biggest irritation was having to buy a couple of those damned California containers because all of my other spares were in Mexico.

A buddy pulled into a station in downtown area yesterday. No lines, no rationing for diesel. "Fill 'er up".
Makes you wonder a little, doesn't it.

A Hint of the Old Days
I'm sure that I'm not the only one who remembers the "Good/Bad" Old Days in the 60s-70s (actually into the early 80s) when NOTHING was guaranteed in
San Felipe. Vehicles waiting at THE gas station for the transport truck to unload. Waiting for hours (so you didn't lose your place in line) at the
Propane yard for the Old guy (with the dangling cigarette) to fill those tanks from a bunch of 25-gallon tanks trucked in, Sometimes running out
before he got to you. Going to every one of the few stores who vended ice to find that NONE was available. Finding the ONE water purification plant
closed until (Manana ?). Always doing your grocery shopping on the day of the week the suppliers came down from Mexicali because the next day would
be too late.
All in all, we're spoiled. Life is good.

Ah yes - filling up in Calexico (aux tanks) to NOT have to fill in SF as that Nova stuff pinged like crazy. There was ONE Pemex station (Rodriguez's)
where they may or may not have had fuel available! Going up to the ice house on the cliff for block ice where they stocked the boats up (when he was
open), stopping in at the ONE Corona cerveza place (across from the Miramar for cases. The propriator always gave out free openers & glass mugs!
Yes Bill, those were the days!! We have been spoiled.

We came through Thursday night about 8, no lines, had all fuel at the same station.
Also, they had Magna in Puertocitas on Sunday, we filled our Toyota up, and it was less than 7 pesos a litre.
