Gulf gas stations are opening in Mexico.

Mexican refineries are operating at <40% capacity because of neglect if they are pushed harder they blow up. The government robs the Pemex treasury leaving next to nothing for maintenance and improvements. This is why I sneered at the idea that UBA Diesel "Was just around the corner". As things blow up, capacidad refinacion is going to decrease even further. This is why Mexico offered to trade two barrels of Maya crude for one barrel of sweet fracked US crude. The light sweet crude is much easier to refine. Hydrogen plants, hydrocrackers, and cat cracker) feed hydrocrackers are delicate monsters as depicted when one blew up near Reynosa killing a bunch of workers and destroying the hydrocracker unit. Mexicos refineries are accidents waiting to happen. But all profit goes to Pemex and flying in one window and out the other, head straight for greedy hands.

Environmental disasters are rife. Poor people drill holes in pipelines to rob the gasoline, and if a "pig*" passed through and there is now fuel oil being piped it goes all over the ground until pressure loss forces the line to shut down. What a freaking mess.

*Pigs are sealing plugs that are inserted in pipelines and separate different products.
