Another Rumour?
I was told last night the reason the Pemex stations are closed is because they were caught with their meters purposely out of calibration. In other
words customers were getting less fuel than they were paying for.
Anyone else hear anything similar?

One could only hope that was true!
Imagine actually making them earn honest income instead of cheating the customers!!!
Outrageous!!! No more selling 22+ litres of gas into a 19 litre can!!!

What about those Cuali signs on some stations? Do they mean anything?

If they would withhold fuel from all the cheating stations, Pemex might go broke.

larry no no no
if you manufacture a shortage couldn't you raise the prices...
that's what they did here in the USA with gas AND electricty
i'm still paying $3 something for diesel and $1.80 something in baja
if the price increases the more money you make selling less product
it's the same gas
i really like the business training antonio has given his workers at el rosario...
if you ask for it full...the guy pumps every ounce he can getting every peso he can out of you and into the tank
if the workers can pump an extra 10 pesoes into your tank every car
then every 40 cars pay that employees salary for the day
plus antonio sells more gas and makes more profit
we who pump our own gas forgot this "extra profit" style
USA gas station owners used it in the 60's to make extra money
-------------------------
oh yea
i really like to get extra gas in case the next station is out

Once you clear Kalifornia of the Left Coast, diesel prices in the states are about 2.73-2.75 at most truck stops throughout the midwest and upper
plains. Baja diesel is cheaper, but some less-used diesel tanks are notoriously high in water content due to condensation, creating more frequent
fuel filter changes. My fuel filter changes cost me mucho dollars for this three-week trip to Baja, but it was worth every nickel.
I topped off my diesel tank myself at Antonio's Pemex just 2 mornings ago. The attendant tryed to quit when it reached an even 700 pesos, but I
squeezed in another couple liters...enough to get past the high California prices and into Nevada.
P.S. Isn't the cheerful fellow wearing that suit coat at the Baja Cactus reception desk a riot!? Great touch and a good humor, Antonio! Only in
Baja..he and that suit will become a legend after a few more years.

Antonio taught me to tell the attendant to "drown it" if you want it all the way to the top...

condensaton is caused because you are leaving your tank empty or half empty in a humid area
you MUST keep your tank full when in baja
your BIG tank will easily make water inside over night if it's not FULL
remember water and gas DON'T mix
nowdays gas stations have a water filter just like your truck to remove moisture from the fuel you pump

The common fuel filter in automobiles do not remove water.
