The price for the toll roads from McAllen TX to Mexico City in the first week of July was $150.00 US dollars or 2,100.00 pesos aprox, very bad condition with a lot of pot holes, I even asked the lady taking the money if I was paying for the pot holes or the little pavement left, then come the famous speed bumps, they are not bumps they are walls.
In Mexico they charge per pair of tires, in my case one pair up front and two pairs in back or 3 axles for the RV and 2 axles for the car, since they do not have scales for the cargo trucks or trailers, they over load them past the weight limit, this tears up the pavement and some of the patch work is worse than the broken pavement.
Is it expensive for Mexico? yes for the poor condition that this roads have, I found that the "libre" are as good or sometimes better than some of the roads in the US.
Between Monterrey and Saltillo we took the toll road, if we had gone on the libre we would have crept up hill at about 20 to 25 miles per hour or less behind some semi choked in diesel fumes.
These roads are owned by banks and "investors" that do not care what the state of these roads are as long as they get the mordida, and the Mexican public will not complain since nothing gets done any way, so why bother.
