A challenge is going to be supply to Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Chiapas. The Salina Cruz refinacion supplies this area, and their tankers sail from there up the Pacific coast as far as Guaymas and El Sauzal near Ensenada BC. There are no piplines that can feed ULSD to the refinery from Villahermosa, the nearest east coast refinaccion. Pipeline thieves operating in the Puebla, Tehuacan area really shut that system into a corner.
The barge operation from Topolobampo to Pichilingue is private, not Pemex. These folks have had a scumbag reputation all the way back to the 1960's. Filthy compartments, water, and cross fuel contamination. I hope gobernacion takes a hard look at these folks, soon.
I would be surprised if Pemex changed its "ironclad" guarantee NO GASOLINERA IN MEXICO WILL BE ALLOWED TO POST NOTIFICATION OF UBA UNTIL EVERY LAST STATION IN MEXICO HAS IT. The southern states are a burr under Pemex's saddle.
I passed through a restaurant for truckers "El Traylero" just this morning (superb spicy huevos con chorizo) and saw a faded bulletin board sign (translated) Final gasolinera con comistible diesel Guerrero Negro BCS.
Apparently the last gasolinera southbound is right at the 28 paralelo the eagle monument at the state line. Mexican truckers do not like UBA for older rigs. Not my part to ask why.
But it could make a trucker a source for higher accuracy than sheer guesswork for determining which stations have UBA.
Personally I hope it becomes available everywhere soon.
