The price of gas last week in Baja was about $2.35 a gallon and only $2.00 for diesel.

Are the prices that cheap in the border towns like Mexicali, Tecate?

6.77MN per litro x 3.8 litros per gal divided by 10.5mn per $US = $2.45 per gal

2 bucks less a gallon now for our fuel, refined here, sold and transported to Mexico.

Mexico is the third world country, isn't it??
Two months down the road, they're predicting $6.00 a gallon.

I am so sick of this, not you Capt.
The stinking market speculators "tell OPEC what to charge for a barrel of crude". (from a market mucky muck on O'Reily)
If true, the commodity brokers and the oil suppliers are making millions at our expense, while we just sit and take it. The news media stuffs the
lastest market spec price level down our throats for a few weeks until we believe it as fact and then the price hits that mark. THERE IS NOTHING
OTHER THAN THAT, THAT DRIVES THESE PRICES CURRENTLY and yes I was yelling. Can anyone show me where I'm wrong here?

Gadget, I agreed with you earlier, but my post was deleted. I suspect that it was because it included the word Chaney.
It is pretty difficult to discuss U S energy policy without using that "dirty" word.
We do what we can. We now have a shared electric car for our neighborhood for around town, and I just bought a trailer for my 50 MPG motorcycle so I
can get my tools to my home inspection jobs. (On those rare occasions when someone actually buys or builds a house.)

NO, the price doesnt change.
Only the cambio one receives or tries to receive changes if one is a gringo.
Which, I guess, technically does change the price of the overall purchase.
But we deserve it cause we are addicted to petroleum, just like hard drugs and mota.
Oh yeah, and canned tuna.............

what is driving the prices are the super wealthy few that run the country, oops, I mean the world.
oh it's the taxes, oh, it's the Arabs, oh crap
it's the greedy ******** running the oil companies and our "honorable" Senators and Congressman who know nothing other then being on the Corporate
Tit.
Jimmy Hoffa, where are you? He would have shut this country done (rightfully so) in a New York minute. We have turned into a country of whining,
sniveling wimps!

not wrong, speculation is definitely part of the picture, but there is also supply and demand. china, india, suvs and all the other increased demands
with no comparable increases in supply...

OK, agree to an extent...but if the supply and demand concept holds true, then with not enough gas for all the folks that want it someone would be
saying, OK we only have this much and so n so will pay this much. How much will you give us for it? How is Mexico keeping the cost under 3 bucks a
gallon when they by it from us in BCN?
This could be the case to some extent with the oil companies actually supplying the refined fuel to the end user. But the per barrel price for the
crude is what seems to have the most impact on the prices at our pumps, doesn't it?
So then I read my comment above about Mexico and now it seems that, taxes, fees, stupid mixtures, greed are at fault.
I have totally confused myself, so I give up
Thinking out loud here and I sure don't have any answers. It makes me crazy! We have so much energy potential here on our own continent and we are
fully caught with our pants down. Our economy has the potential to be so bad off here soon that we won't have the ability to develope any new sources
of either new or old technology. What then?
With a Commucrat, a Democrat and a Republicrat as a potential new leader, I don't see anything being discussed to stop the bleeding.
