Just got back from a road trip to Denver and found regular gas at a Pilot Truck stop in Arizonaa for $3.09/gal. I used to try to hit Mexico on empty
when driving down and fill up in Ensenada, now I'm going to fill up in San Diego.

Fuel prices for October, 2014..
Magna.............$ 13.13 pesos per liter
Premium..........$ 13.89 pesos per liter
Diesel..............$ 13.72 pesos per liter
These prices are in liters... since 1 gallon = 3.7854 liters and today (October 12th, 2014) 1 dollar = $12.60 pesos (+/-), we can calculate the
approximate price per gallon:
Magna.............$ 3.944 dollars per gallon
Premium..........$ 4.173 dollars per gallon
Diesel..............$ 4.121 dollars per gallon

13.13 x 3.785 (liters in a gallon) = 49.7 pesos per gallon
49.7 / by 12.5 exchanged rate = 3.98 per gallon. http://forums.bajanomad.com/images/smilies/flaming.gif

Wow, you guys are using a very low exchange rate. The internet rate has averaged about 13.42 recently, so the ATM exchange rate without fees has
averaged about 13.36 recently. That would put the USD per gallon at about $3.70 USD/gal for Magna.
I don't why the price for a barrel of oil on the global market is so low recently. Heard various things. I also heard that ISIS is selling black
market oil at $30 USD per barrel from the oil fields that they control now. Also, heard that the USA is now producing as much oil per day as it uses;
net deficit in oil imports/exports = 0. If true, that's new development. Maybe that has something to do with oil prices dropping, hence dropping
price of gasoline in USA. For whatever the reason, I hope that all this will result in a lowering of the price of gas in Mexico. We shall see.

Maybe Mexico should become self-sufficient, similar to the track our current government has put us on.

you'll never get that exchange rate (13.42) ...
the average "real" exchange rate is 12.6 recently

To reply to your post, after decades of avoiding it, Mexico has finally decided to bring in outside foreign companies to help them tap their huge
reserve in the gulf. It requires deep water drilling that Mexico is lacking the expertise and technology to do.
That said, I have to ask the question.
Is there any of you who would cancel a Baja trip over gas prices?
I think I know the answer, which leads me to query why there are so many threads posted about the price of gas in Mexico. Jf you are a Baja person,
you will go, no matter the price of Pemex.

Since I more or less live in Baja full time, I don't cancel trips because of fuel prices. However one of the reasons that we decided to move to Baja
was the generally lower cost of living there. Makes our retirement dollars go further. In the past five years we have seen this "advantage" more or
less disappear. Fuel is at par or slightly more than US, Propane, electricity and other necessary living expenses are about the same and even the
food products that we like are the same or higher than US. This with generally lower quality. This will weigh in with many people who already live
in Baja or are considering moving there. Something to think about.

Just got back from 2.5 months in the States. Lowest prices I saw were in New Mexico where regular gas (not E-85) was 2.91 and diesel was as low as
3.31.
Anyone traveling in the corridor between Taos and Albuquerque; the cheapest fuel seemed to be in the community of Bernalillo and the indian
reservations near there.
There is clearly nothing about Mexican fuel pricing that has any semblance to market pricing. It just keeps going up, up, up................
Agree, ncampion, outside of owning property and paying the modest taxes on it, there is very little goods left in Mexico that are much cheaper than
the US.
