Ed, you've got the Pemex pipeline map. One line shoots straight down from El Pazo, to the Bajio. A lot of that fuel will eventually be pumped rather than carried.
And the map also shows the routing as to how gasoline enters Baja California the northern through Mexicali, and is piped to El Sauzal then north to Tijuana.
Ships, tankers are carrying a lot of fuel to East Coast ports as far south as Villahermosa.
The Arco Tidewater Valero refinery in Mtz CA. has been supplying Baja California for years. Shell and Tidewater have exchanged base fuels since I manned the alkylation plant in Martinez since the early 1970's. Refineries trade base fuels (no additives) like I change underwear. But remember, Mexico still specifies MTBE for a number of geographical locations. I doubt shipments originating in the USA have MTBE, one derail and spill would cause a nightmare.
Nothing as dangerous as a reporter that believes old news (but new to him) is an exclusive. Such is the Tesoro/Tidewater/Arco mulch. A majority of UBA diesel for Baja California used to be Chevron, Exxon, and Shell Oil. Alongside every mainland RR track in Texas, NM, Ariz, and California are enough SP pipelines to transfer fuel without interruption in case of a major refinery process upset.
