How is a million barrel stock of gasoline a downside?
Or to reassure someone who had problems with Magna Sin Poder that things are rapidly changing?

Yep that's accurate info. We po-foke need accurate information so we can plan accordingly. I got suckered into a '97 trip by no-bad-days promoters and had to cut a 2-week trip down to 3-days. And a round trip bus ride from Tecate. It left a bitter taste in my mouth.
I live here and love it. But I refuse to say things like "Oh we found the truck and 3-axle trailer tolls to be very reasonable from Nogales to Tecoman" Tell folks where to find the toll rates.
A few years ago someone got postal when I explained that drunk drivers forfeit insurance coverage for themselves. Or that meticulously thorough roadside retenes are to to expected along the southern Pacific coast. You will see this around Petlatlan on your way to Acapulco. That's why I treat this forum as a guide and not a four color glossy promotion.
How to avoid problems without breaking a sweat.
How to not even break a sweat. Mexico is a place to enjoy not to endure an unpleasant vertical learning curve.
I run into crooked cops. Rather than let it ruin my day-week-month I know how to play with them and leave the episode laughing my butt off. Shortcuts, tips, and it's all legal and ethical. I thrive in Tierra Caliente, supposedly one of the most hazardous area of the country.
If people need their arm twisted to come down and refuse to even think about joining a caravan then perhaps their decision is a wise one.
I get bummed-out when I am forced to return to the USA. I tell Eduardo we are not going to eat syntho-road-burgers on the other side and pack pollo al carbon estilo sinolaense, some fajitas, and Penafiel. After specialist medical treatment we hit the stores and snag what is not easy to find. When we re-cross I let out a big breath of air.
And regardless of price I do not purchase 85% gasoline in the USA.
