ED: Here is what I had posted. The world of fuel marketing appears to be complicated. Names we have never heard of. The refineries are also changing names! The fellow I spoke to was an Arco engineer. I just Googled the company named in my post and asked to speak to someone that could provide info! For once you and I agree: In no time at all ULSD will be everywhere. I would not be shocked to see Pemex becoming a bit player when it comes to marketing. I also wonder when Pemex will sell Magna that is low sulfur! I only use their
Premium as the Magna can play havoc with the catalytic convertors.

"Today's El Imparcial has an article about more US fuels being imported. I cannot find the article on line without a subscription to some of the papers that published the article. I can understand most of the article. Presently there are 3 companies importing fuels for the retail market. Only one is identified in the article. It is Andeavor. Formerly Tesoro. I called their headquarters and asked if the diesel is ULSD. They are only exporting fuels produced in their own refinery. They only produce ULSD! The stations in Mexico are branded ARCO. They do their own transportation. Unfortunately at this time the fuel is going to TJ but soon will be in Rosario. There are 2 stations in TJ. There was also mention of a new company: Pemex Logistics. Not much help for the mainland but I would bet that shortly more US Refineries will have a presence in Mexico with US fuels. Apparently Arco is the only one that has the capability of doing the importing and the transportation. There is a Chevron station in HMO but the fuel is supplied by Pemex and they add Techron."
