You might find it handy to remember the word
GASOLINERA
The gasolinera independente in Asuncion dispenses only Magna and the cost is around 25 cents a gallon higher.
The Franquicia seems to be undergoing the nightmare process of a hundred and ten permits and inspections. When asphalt and concrete get laid will be
the next mile stone. I don't see as yet any signs of a cajera for an ATM machine.

But they have a bunch of stations right out on Mex 1. If you are heading in the Asuncion, fill up before you start over to the coast.

Which at this moment, in my area, is 12.59 Pesos per liter.
Also at this moment, the exchange rate is 13.09 to one. You do the math.

12.59 P/liter x 3.78 liter/ US gal = 47.59 p/us gal divided by 13.09 P/US$ = $3.63 per US gal.
Actually I just got 12.96 pesos/$ out of the ATM so my fill up cost $3.67 per US gal

What does that mean Jon? More ethanol? Costco pumps now have signs that their's is a "Top Tier" gasoline with all the good agents for your engine's
health, etc.

Honestly, I don't think it means much. Tesoro bought out BP in SoCal last year and took over their gas distribution. I don't think anything has
changed, really. Just a different name selling gas to the stations. Same gas. No more ethanol than was in there before. Same old same old.

The concrete pads around the pumps and over the underground tanks are all done, and the base rock is being compacted for the paving of the lot. Very
slow by any standards. "Real" engineered rebar in the pump slabs though, and lots of it.

Take some photos man! JK.
That's my line of work. I love that stuff. I'm an underground storage tank nerd.

As long as the Asuncion Pemex station doesn't look like this, things will be OK.

Jon, it is probably a good thing I didn't assume your interest. I made part of my living documenting construction projects, I might have been carried
away. (smiley here)

"Their's?!" David, I'm shocked.
Hmm, but maybe you've invented something useful here: the double possessive (for emphasis). This could be the next linguistic trend...  |
Maybe... ? It is possessive (signs belonging to) plural (more than one sign)... maybe just "theirs" without the ' before the s? I don't ever claim to
know or understand the English language.
Baja place names is another matter, completely! 
Thank you!

The current run up in SoCal gasoline prices are more or less an annual event, that despite whatever BS the fuel companies will talk about, i.e.
changeover to summer blend, refinery maintenance, Etc., it's all about a feeding frenzy by commodity traders that play Vegas type games to syphon of
money for themselves.
Anyone remember when the vertically integrated gasoline providers, pumped, refined and sold at retail, their own product. Doesn't happen today.

Nice shots Perry. Looks like a nice, new, clean site.
I like how they have the dedicated Diesel island, with no canopy, making it easy for big trucks to fuel up. Thanks for the photos of the tank pad,
vent pipes (2 gas and one diesel), and what looks like Wayne dispensers. Probably has new state of the art double walled fiberglass underground
storage tanks (UST) as well. I wonder if they need a UST inspector? They can hire me but I'll have to charge for the extra mileage. =)
