Pemex Fuel Price
Our recent check of PEMEX prices (in El Rosario courtesy of Antonio with Baja Cactus) indicated the following:
Updated January 2010
Magna: Aproximately $2.31 Dlls/gallon
Premium: Aproximately $ 2.84 Dlls/gallon
Diesel: Aproximately $2.44 Dlls/gallon
Note: PEMEX (Petróleos Mexicanos), Mexico's state-owned, nationalized petroleum company, regulates and standardizes the prices for its petroleum products. Stations in areas bordering the United States are, however, allowed some flexibility in adjusting prices to compete with U.S. gas prices.
We recommend always paying for gas in pesos. Making the gallon-to-gallon and peso-to-dollar conversions can be confusing, since the price will be expressed in pesos per liter, and change will invariable be given in pesos when payment was in made in dollars. Unfortunately a few unscrupulous gas attendants will also short change the buyer. If the pump reads 375 pesos for your tank of gas and you pay the attendant 400 pesos, you know he owes you 25 pesos in change. Simple, if you pay in pesos.
