What do you make of this? I have heard that Santa Rosalia Pemex was a notorious rip-off station. Would the shut-down be connected? I have never
heard anything particularly bad about Mulege.

Just wondering???
Is it good news when the crooked guy gets shut down,
or
Is it bad news when that leaves no source of gas?

No open yet. And it is supposed to be the same owner.

I have heard it is owned by the same person(s). Also the stations in Guerrerro Negro by the same person(s).
Also rumored that the station in San Ignacio is having the same problem.

Was informed recently that there were still two pumps at Sta Rosalia that were meeting the necessary volume, but that the line was long.

The Sta. Rosalia station is owned by Antonio Espinoza, Raul Arechiga's (owner of Aerocalifornia) brother in law.

This is just a hunch on my part:
Remember I was telling you guys about Antonio (BajaCactus/ El Rosario Pemex owner) working like crazy to meet the latest demands by Pemex to upgrade
pumps???
Well, if those new devices are not installed, the stations will be shut down and the owners jailed...
The devices??? Well, they are designed to monitor sales and pump operation to prevent the illegal practices of some stations to sell more litres than
they actually pump into cars (imagine that! )

Yeah, but that won't help the guy that makes change backwards,
and/or misquotes money conversions.
Seal the pumps, they will just innovate new scams.

Revisions....
Pemex Gas Stations....
Thought I gave you a better idea of what is happening.
There are very specialized units in the government, formed by members of Profeco and Pemex.
Profeco is a government agency that regulates the honest operation of businesess in Mexico.
Pemex, you all know, is the government department that produces and supply all fuel in Mexico.
These units make special visits, randomly, all around the Pemex gas stations in Mexico, their visits are unannounced, and usually sweep a specific
area at one time and then move to other parts of the country.
Well, these revisions (called "Volantas Profeco-Pemex")... are empowered to check all the operations process of a gas station, but they mainly focus
on checking the "size" of the liters dispensed at the pumps and the internal processes of keeping inventories.
If they do not approve of something, they have the power to shut down the gas station.
A couple of hours ago (right now is 10:46 pm, march 16th), I talked to my family in Santa Rosalia and they told me the gas station is completely shut
down... and that there is a lot of confussion there, because this is the only supply of fuel in town.
As how long it will take to be open again... well it depends on the reason for the shutdown, and how fast the owner approaches the solution... it can
take from a couple of days to several months.
Since there is no other gas station there, it is my believe they will try to make a fast compromise to begin operations again.
I hope this gives you a new perspective my friends.

I know that the scammers are clever and think up new stuff all the time. But the drivers aren't dumb either. There must be a routine we could follow
to make sure they can't get in our pants....er, wallets.
Has anybody suggested something? Such as asking for an exact amount of liters or so many pesos worth? I know this won't avoid crooked pump meters,
but seems we should try. Having said that, I have only bought gas in my town and never have driven down the length of Baja. How about some advice
from the frequent travelers?
