Gas prices along Mex 5 ?
I was thinking of doing a quick trip down the Cortez side, probably not past Loreto, and I was wondering if the prices are as bad as they are north of
the border?

Thanks! If my math is right, that is about $3.78/gallon.

Correct
Formula is $/gal =(P/l)x(3.7854/(P/$))

The price per liter is about the same as the pesos per dollar, so a dollar a liter. 3.785 liters (and dollars) per gallon! +/-.

One more question....
Since brands other than Pemex have been on the scene for a while now, has there been much of a spread in price between stations in towns large enough
to have multiple options?

Mexico needs a website like gasbuddy to list/map all stations and their prices and honesty….
The quantitative honesty must be factored with listed pump price to determine true cost of fuel

I agree! I started my search for gas info on line, and what I found was either outdated, or a lead to anything but what I was looking for.
I suppose that even a site like Gas buddy wouldn't be able to tell us how many liters per liter shown on the pump we actually got!

There are Pemex stations in Puertecitos and Gonzaga. Puertecitos has not been open regularly. It is down in town at the end of the branch road off
Hwy. 5.

I wonder if this is a measurement unique to Mexico.
I buy gas during the winter at a station famous for "litros chiquitos".

The Gonzaga Bay Pemex is along the highway, at the turnoff to go to Alfonsina's, can't be missed!

I am more of an explorer than a tourist. If I make it as far as Loreto on this trip, it will be a short stay!
I have purchased gasoline in Puertecitos before. The last time I was there, the station was closed, but one of the locals near the station made a
call, and someone came down and opened up for me!
The same thing occurred at the Gonzaga station last year. I guess the attendant doesn't have anybody to fill in for him at break times.

I like the pics of the gas station changing colors. Last time I think it was a Arco with a half built awning. Got to love travel in Baja

Good eye! The second photo was in July 2015 and the first in Jan 2017.

We just returned from Todos Santos and Scorpion Bay.
Hwy5 & 1 are good all the way to Todos Santos. There is road reserfaceing south of the LA Bay turnoff. Gas is 20-22 Peso/L. The pemex at
Puertocios is usually closed. The restaurant south of the 5/1 junction is so popular that they run out of water for the restrooms in the afternoons
some days.
In general Mexican gas produces about 15% lower milage regardless of who you buy it from.
With the exception of the check point at Gonzaga Bay all the checkpoints are operational and checking NB americans diligently! They checked my maglite
and looked at the batteries!
The road from the south to Scorpion Bay is good except from KM 60-KM 74 and about the last 2KM before the 1st turnoff. The road from the 1st turnoff
is good.
There is no major road damage from the recent hurricanes as far south as Cerritos Beach,
