According to Javier, there are now more than 30 extraneous brand names shown on gasolineras. Here, one Pemex is now a BP so the rebranding is not limited to new construction.
Of interest is a station originating in France. They said they are using Pemex fuel at present but sometime this year they will start importing fuel from Algeria. The company is bragging their UBA diesel has a proprietary blend of additives that eliminates the need for customer diesel supplements to suppress plant contamination (algae). The gasoline is supposed to contain nitrogen urea compounds (which I suppose will act like Chevron and Shell gasoline additives).
Javier had no inside information about what is or what is not happening to the Salina Cruz refinacion. But for years tankers have been off-loading refined in USA Premium, so I dearly hope that Japanese refined diesel is finally making an introduction way down south.
Note: Fuel prices have zagged upward locally in the last two weeks -- about 4% for Pemex and extraneous stations -- all grades of fuel. I'll will believe the touts of price adjusted for market when I see the pump price decrease. Something I have never seen down here in 53-years.
