New and revamped stations that are appearing here in the northern part of Mexico. Change is coming.





More to come I'm sure.

  • Wall is not problem. Everyone just flies over or tunnels under or goes around. Wall means nothing.

    What is the big deal about gas stations? What was bad about the old ones?


    Mexico´s oil industry was nationalized after the revolution. We are now in a period of energy reform and privatization. Before, there was only one oil company, one logo, franchises existed but they were heavily controlled by the Pemex oil company.

    You should read up on Mexico. It´s a wonderful country and lots of people come here with their rvs. Great culture, people, food, music, etc.

    Mexico does $580 billion dollars a year in trade with the U.S. and Canada. We´re neighbors!

  • There is a new "service plaza" just south of Santa Ana. About 1 km. It is built in the median of the toll road. 2 or 3 restaurants, huge c-store. lots of accessible pumps. Paved lot with lots of parking. There are many spots where you can park a rig and stay overnight. Friendly people. Signage is not all Pemex but the pumps say Pemex.
