Mulege Pemex
I'll be driving from L.A. to Los Cabos in May. I plan to stop at the El Rosario Pemex late on day 1 (thanks Antonio!) and drive through the night to
Mulege. Does anyone know the hours of operation for the Pemex at Mulege?

Last week Mulege Pumps on the MEX 1 were open every day...
no lines at the diesel pumps
gas lines were only 2 cars deep and the attendents were working as fast as possible.

Mulege Pemex
Thanks Bruce, Bob and Susan!
I'll probably be taking on 30-35 gallons of Magna Sin. Are you aware of any limits? Also, do you know if they take Visa / Mastercard?
Last, can you recommend a place nearby for breakfast?

Sure you want to drive through the night? Night driving is different in the baja, no?

I don't think driving 13 hours straight thru in Baja (or anywhere else) will ever be called "easy" by me.

The last time I drove back, I saw a group of 6 dead horses near the ranches between San Ignacio and Guerro Negro. I have driven Baja at night, but no
more. It's true, there is almost no one on the roads after dark, only you, the animals, and the Mexican without his lights on.

A barrel of crude oil just climbed to about $70 a barrel in trading this morning. U.S. pump prices appear to be headed for over $3 gallon gasoline by
July 4th...Today's national average is already around $2.78 per gallon.
It seems Mexico prices will be quite a bit lower...unless they hike, too. How does this affect your road travel plans in the USA versus Baja?
Anybody going to change their routes? Maybe a good time to head back to Baja!
