I have not been to Mex since the price of oil on the world market has fallen. Just curious if the Mexican government has reduced their prices or if they are gouging the Mexican people who have no alternative.

December 2014 update shows 12.50 pesos/liter for gas.
That's $4/gallon . I dont know if it was here or on Facebook, (I think it was Jerry or Kenny) but someone put a gas price projection and around the first month of the new year the gas price will be double the price per gallon in Mexico than the US.
Current rates @ 12.50 PPL puts it around 3.25 a gal. Almost $1 more a gallon than the cheapest I found in the Mesa area.
Why?????
When I was a kid, my parents owned a little diesel engine car. We lived in Yuma, so my dad used to drive into Algodones on the weekend and fill up for .25cents a gallon. :)
In other words "gouging the Mexican people who have no alternative." They could & should reduce the cost at the pump & still maintain their percent of profit/tax income revenue.
San Diego - The price of gasoline dropped simultaneously on both sides of the border in California and Baja California this Tuesday.
The cheapest gasoline in Tijuana and Rosarito was 9.59 pesos for regular ($2.48 per gallon) and 10.38 pesos ($2.69 per gallon) for Premium. In Mexicali, fuel was cheaper and was 9.03 pesos ($2.34 per gallon) for regular and 9.84 pesos ($2.55 per gallon) for Premium.
This difference in prices between the coastal municipalities and the state capitol reflects making the prices in Baja California equivalent to San Diego and Imperial counties, respectively.
In San Diego County, regular unleaded gas dropped to $2.25 per gallon, or 8.84 pesos per liter, using an exchange rate of 14.60 pesos per dollar. In the Imperial Valley, the cheapest regular is $2.19 per gallon, or 8.41 pesos per liter.
Gasoline in Baja California is on average 70% cheaper that in the center of Mexico.
Your a long way from Cali Amigo, price of gas is thru the roof in mexico,here's the gas gauge http://www2.gasmart.com.mx/
Good link mystery man! 7.2 in Nogales and twenty miles south in Magdalena almost 14! I understand Macho Prieto owned 4 Pemex Stations in western Sonora....tip or die!
Most likely as you head south through town towards Rocky Point, after crossing federal hwy 2, before you make the turn onto the final road with the Bienvendos sign, there is a closed Arizona Market building. On that bypass road to the west, there is a Pemex within sight on the south side.
I know this isn't the bypass we are talking about but didn't Gillespie have a road from out by his place at La Pinta to Sonoyta? I heard there were plans to develop it and it was a time saver.

Just before the checkpoint there is a railroad crossing of sorts followed by a road of sorts that goes through a mountain pass of sorts....The hurricane really made a bad situation worse but might be good to try some gold panning back there...

Isn't that the area somebody said is now a military gunnery range? Might get your ass shot off.

You guys have been watching to many episodes of wagon train, Surprised Kenny didn't throw his his 2 cents in, You bunch of dreamers!
Gillespies old road crosses the Caborca highway on its way to Estero La Pinta. Turnoff is a few miles past the Mayan going south on the CAborca highway. I've been up to the mine numerous times in the past. First you pass Gillespies old orange orchard site where he had a well that you will see the remenants of. Last attempt, about say 5 years back I was turned back by the military. Have not had a 4x4 since so have not tried the trip to the mine, but a friend told me he was just up there to the mine so I guess the road goes that far at least. Years back I ran across a 4WD club motoring down from Sonita.
I have some good photos from up there but of course I can't load them !
Back before Lobo del Mar headed to Hawaii Capt'n Bart told us about the family's annual New Year's Day trip up to Gillespie's orchard and mine. He said there was a hot spring up there they would sit in and recover from the previous night's festivities. Sounded like a really cool trip. It's high up on my list of things I gotta do!
