Fuel prices March 2014...
Fuel prices effective March 1st, 2014...
Magna.............$ 12.50 pesos per liter
Premium..........$ 13.12 pesos per liter
Diesel..............$ 12.95 pesos per liter
These prices are in liters... since 1 gallon = 3.7854 liters and today (March 1st, 2014) 1 dollar = $13.00 pesos (+/-), we can calculate the
approximate price per gallon:
Magna.............$ 3.640 dollars per gallon
Premium..........$ 3.820 dollars per gallon
Diesel..............$ 3.771 dollars per gallon

Good reckoning, BC, but there's one more consideration... the exchange rate says 13.+ to one, but you don't actually get that from the banks, cambios,
or atm's. They all take a leetle off the top, only half a point mas o meno; and a very important factor is; show me a pump in Baja you get a full
liter per measurement. Depends on the station you fill up at, but we all know you can fit 40 gallons in a 30 gallon tank in Baja just about anywhere,
even a few hours after certification. Take a 5 or 6 gallon Jerry Can to your local Pemex and fill it to the mark on the bottle, and see what you get
(5-or-6 x 3.78). So, when you have a 35 gallon tank like my Tank has, it's more like roughly $4.00/gal U.S., and i'm paying through the nose on it.
Oh, and gas prices took a jump stateside this week, y'all. Welcome to the Pre-Memorial Day Run-Up.
Happy trails.

BTW, Bajabuddha, Baja Cactus OWNS a Pemex station.

...and those fees not only depend on which bank's ATM you use but where the ATM is located. AT the pelican store in Ensenada the BANORTE ATM is
charging 50.8 pesos to use their machine while the HSBC machine right next to it only charges 22.3. If you want to use the HSBC machine at the Calimax
store in Maneadero (where the poor shop) you have to pay 28.7 pesos.

Jayziss, Dave. Didn't even make it to the 2nd page before the name-calling and chite-smearing begins. Seems the prices were just as high when Gov.
Ahnold was in. I'm gonna see if that one guy has an extra Give-o-chite meter. Wipe off the Faux News lipstick, willya plz? Gives me an image of an

There are lib Republicans too (like Arnold)... I think to not lower taxes when the economy is crashing is a shame and hurtful to the poor.

Wow, in Nevada this week I gave $3.37 for regular unlead, and $3.76 for diesel.
Why do Liberals insist and demand that achievers pay the way for nonachievers who are to lazy to succeed, or are just failures by their own choice?
Criminals prefer unarmed victims, dictators prefer unarmed subjects.
Why do ignorant people continue their blabbering when it only proves to others how stupid they are.

I have been wondering that for some time now. What is more surprising is how the average Mexican can afford to buy the cars that they are now
driving. The caliber of cars at the Walmart parking lot in La Paz are not much different than the cars at Walmarts in Orange County, CAlifornia.
Prior to 10 years ago, most cars on the road in La Paz were old beaters. Today the cars in La Paz are as good on the average as seen in middle class
California.
Certainly, Mexicans are taking advantage of car loans which I think may account for a lot of the up tick in more costly cars being commonly driven in
La Paz. But, I think that the real cause is the fact that real estate is so cheap in Baja, and so is labor for all services. These days in USA,
especially in So Cal, the cost of housing is rising and at least 6 times more costly than in La Paz and labor cost for skilled and unskilled labor is
comparatively much more expensive in the USA. The comparative 'savings' that Mexicans experience due to low cost housing is available for gasoline,
auto purchase and food purchases. I think, that is why food at grocery stores and restaurant prices are the same or at least very close to price
levels in the USA and why the price of gasoline hasn't been seen to affect driving habits of Mexicans so far as I can see.
Prices are ultimately determined by what the market will pay at a given supply level that sustains optimal profits and not based solely on the cost to
the vendor of the products they sell.

Baja Cactus dispensers are accurate. Always have been, even 20 years ago when the station was "Servicio Meza". The problem is the Petroleo Mexicano
hog trough in Mexico City and the Pemex labor union chief who demands millions upon millions in extortion directly from the company. For himself. This
is why taxes and tramites are going up there isn't enough peanut butter to feed all the mice.
secgob shot his mouth off day before yesterday and declared a freeze on taxes and tramites. Let's see how long this lasts. Maybe the threat of
vehiculos nacionalizados Front BCS is over. I hope so. No specific details were released along with all the hot air.

Starting out an answer with "Yup" doesn't say much for the sophistication of Kalifornicans! Ask the people in Arizona how their roads are holding up. lower taxes and less services.
