Gas shortages in BCS
GAS SHORTAGES IN CABO, SAN JOSE DEL COBO AND LA PAZ? - We have heard from two sources this morning that there may be no gas in these three major
cities in BCS due to a possible strike? Does anyone know anything about this to confirm or deny this rumor? We also heard that Todos Santos has
gasoline (although with their usual "Markup").
This came thru this am from our local internet new letter...anyone know anything more???
Remember, when in Mexico, yes may be no and no may be
maybe!

Very long lines Saturday. Not too bad today. Both Aramburo Pemex are closed or partially closed.
We heard that it had something to do with the barge that brings fuel over to us.
Diesel was no problem.

Jst filled up in La Paz (4 PM) and had no lines, no wait, no restrictions. Been driving around today, no abnormal lines, etc. With the Norther
blowing since Thursday it sometimes happens the barge is delayed. Glad I filled up.

Gas and diesel have been a problem for about two weeks. last week San Ignacio and GN were out but Vizcaino was filling tanks. Was told it was due to
rough gulf seas holding up the fuel barge.

when the wind blows the barges cant cross to Santa Rosalia and La Paz. so gas gets short for a while. the wind has been blowing for quit a few days
now so I think the problem will get worse for a while.

Big problems / line-ups on Saturday in Cabo, due to broadcast on radio that there were to be shortages - a self-fulfilling announcement. Still have
gas in TS, as of this pm.

Something to keep in mind too is that around Christmas there is often a gas shortage as everyone is travelling and if the gulf is rough it makes it
worse...often between Christmas and New Years folks get stranded in towns in central baja sooo....gas up whenever you can everybody during the
holidays...(Vizcaino was out of gas too a few days ago)
