Keep us posted if you can. Coming down this weekend.
Pemex at the windmills got a light delivery this morning. I was able to fill the Ranger but they weren’t going to be in business for long. Speculation is that gringos leaving town on Sunday (there were a lot) all filled up because gas was cheap, and this cratered supply. Not sure how it’s going to play the next few days. Everyone coming down should fill up in Ajo or Why and be alert to stay topped off when you see an open station. Don’t wait for Sunday PM to look for gas in case this repeats.

This is EXACTLY why I keep forty gallons in my garage down there.
I always top off when entering town as you can never expect to get anything on Sunday.

Since we're on the topic of gas I have another question. Does anyone ever try and gas up before 6am in Rocky Point? During the week. We've started leaving Tuesday mornings now instead of Monday nights but when we leave on Tuesday mornings we leave early so the wife can get to work by 10am. The last two trips I believe we were out of the house by 540am and had to go to multiple gas stations in town to find one that was OPEN. It seems you can't get gas before 6am in Rocky Point... Can anyone direct me to a station that's open all night/day or one that opens early in the morning before 6am??????? I assume there has to be gas stations in RP that are open before 6am for fishing/marine purposes.

Any issues with fuel quality after these stations run empty? Trash in the fuel, water?
Joe, since covid, that has been our experience as well, have not found an early AM gas station open whatsoever

Last month I told the wife that when we're returning on Tuesday mornings we need to fuel up Monday night. Kind of dumb not too but I guess I'm used to gas stations being self serve and open all day/night.
You got married?

On Tues Magna was 18.39 pesos per L in Sonoyta, ($3.49 per gallon) our neighbors got 20 liters at the Oxxo before they ran out.
Last week we paid 18.39 per L but the peso was weaker so we paid $3.35 per gallon.

Gas subsidy removed, then reinstated, after demand by US motorists affects supplies
The Finance Ministry announced a suspension of fuel subsidies along the northern border amidst supply problems, but reconsidered the next day.

$4.07 That's still cheaper than anywhere in AZ, a friend told me that gas prices in RP are about the same, 23 pesos per liter $4.37 per gallon
as it was last week before the many people from the US suddenly discovered gas was $1.70 less in Sonoyta .
The Gov't subsidy went away in border towns from 4/2 -4/8, then they will re-assess keeping the subsidy off or add it back.
