Gas prices?


Ensenada, BOLA, and or San Felipe?

And, if you might know - Costco in Mexicali?

So, 25 pesos per liter, 3.785 liters per gallon, then find the current pesos per dollar... Are we close to $5/gallon or more?
Wow!

At least the dollar/peso rate is coming back in your favor. When I traveled to La Paz in late March The cheaper stations were about 23 pesos per liter, but the dollar was worth around 16.5 pesos. Today it is almost 19.7!

edit; Doing the math, I was paying about $5.75 a gallon! That is the main reason I am thinking about using a Honda Element for my next trip.

$2.99 here by Phoenix race track
Paid $5.12 at Sacramento airport yesterday

Come on over our way and fill up before heading south

And Cali and Baja still have the worst roads and highest prices
Our prices are low and the roads are smooth, no trash, no graffiti, no homeless camps

I would die if i had to live in Arizona in summer!

I like the roads here in socal, seem fine to me!

$5.12? You need to shop around. I have been paying a dollar less, paying low 4s recently in socal.

Costco was $4.29 last week, in San Marcos. Up from 4.19 the previous week, 87 octane. Other stations are around $4.50.

Let see if my memory is good we went through Santa Rosalia on the 22nd of August and gas was 25.39 per liter I think. paid with pesos that I took out at 19.42 so that makes it, if my math is correct, about $4.94 a gallon for pemex magna, VP racing was a hair cheaper I think.

Yes the gas price is competing along with food prices our high cost of living.
A bit of relief as the exchange the US dollar for pesos compared to the US dollar is creeping up
