Same price ($10.09 per liter diesel) here in LP 2 days ago.
So, given today's exchange rate that would be $3.01 usd per gallon.

Forgive me for having a chuckle about this thread, but....
Given that Mexico controls the price of fuel, and it is virtually always cheaper than one would pay NOB, why would anyone care about the price of
Pemex?
If you are traveling Baja, or mainland, you obviously need to buy the stuff. And since there is government control, with the exception of certain
known stations that game their pumps and should be avoided, you will pay the same price wherever you stop.
That said, in the US, where there are no price controls, the recent spike in gasoline prices has nothing to do with supply and demand. The rise in
prices is simply related to rogue speculators, who have no stake in the fuel business, just playing the market for profit.
A recent Bloomberg article suggests that one third of today's current cost for crude is due to speculators.

Maybe they want to know how much it costs to drive someplace.

It's that it is gov't regulated and the same all over the whole country. (except for the rateros who specialize in overcharging/underfilling)
It doesn't fluctuate like in the good ole US of A.

Let's nationalize USA oil (they are mostly taking oil from our public lands anyway) use the profits for health and education and at the same time
lowering gas to $2.75 and diesel to $2.89. Those oil companies pay no taxes in the USA, are heavily subsidized by the taxpayer. Take a lesson from
Mexico for once!
From Baja to the Sahara to the Arctic and all places in between.

I think in the larger cities there is a local tax. I noticed a higher price in TJ, too.
I always fill up in Ensenada to avoid that extra cost.

Pemex prices within 20K of the border have been higher than the rest for many years.

First, for Bajalou. Although there is a national price control on Pemex, the border regions have some slack, simply because they want to discourage
Americans from crossing the border just to buy gas.
That said, right now, there is absolutely no shortage of crude or of refined gasoline in the US.
Fact is that this past year, the US exported a boatload of petroleum to foreign customers.
We are caught in a situation where crude prices and refined prices are being manipulated by "gamblers" on Wall Street for their own personal profit.
Anyone who followed the proposed Keystone pipeline project that was nixed by Obama ought to know that this Canada to Texas pipeline was designed to
ship crude from Canada to Texas, where either refined or not, it was to be shipped to foreign markets. None of that Canadian crude was earmarked to
the US market.
Enjoy!

No, no, no, no Mr. Sunshine. I mean, Hayzeus Creesto, ya got it all bass ackwards.
Here ya go:
After declining to levels not seen since the 1940s, U.S. crude production began rising again in 2009. Drilling rigs have rushed into the nation's
oil fields, suggesting a surge in domestic crude is on the horizon.
The number of rigs in U.S. oil fields has more than quadrupled in the past three years to 1,272, according to the Baker Hughes rig count. Including
those in natural gas fields, the United States now has more rigs at work than the entire rest of the world.
"It's staggering," said Marshall Adkins, who directs energy research for the financial services firm Raymond James. "If we continue growing anywhere
near that pace and keep squeezing demand out of the system, that puts you in a world where we are not importing oil in 10 years."
So you see, oil production has been increasing since 2009 and so have gas prices!!! And, because of the recession, we're burning less of the stuff in
our cars and trucks.
Supply up (good ole US supply to boot), demand down, and we have higher prices at the pump. It can't be!!
Clearly we need to shut down oil production and increase demand to bring gas prices back down. (that's a joke folks)
Or, maybe there's a bit more to the oil business than "spill baby spill" oops I mean, well you know.

sfandh maybe correct...if we dont use oil the price will drop
of course the country would go bankrupt if we didnt buy BIG 50k cars
but you NEED to add in smog laws and fines to saving gas use savings
the new "oil free" technnology need to be used but used by our companies already in place
it will take decades

The Rest of the Story...
The massive oil fields discovered in North Dakota would be tapping into the Keystone Pipeline for a SAFE transport to American refineries in Texas.

To be sent overseas. Over 60% of fuel refined in the US goes abroad in order to create a shortage here and
drive up prices

Are you suggesting some kind of change so that domestic oil is to stay in America?
Isn't part of our problem with cost of oil being high because the dollar has lost value with us being owned by the Red Chinese? Doesn't selling U.S.
products (oil included) offset our trade inbalance? If we become a major exporter of oil (again), doesn't that make the dollar stronger and thus
reduce the price of oil?
I know that when the dollar is worth more in Mexico the price of Pemex goes down.
It isn't an easy fix, but when supply goes up, the price goes down. We have discovered so much oil in North Dakota, it isn't funny, it's for real. The
time for America to come back from the past 5 years of gloom is now. We need jobs, we need prosperity... we don't need more and more people on food
stamps!
