Possible Fuel Price WHACK In November...?

Sounds pretty good but today coming home through Monterrey gas prices were; 16.36, 16.06, 16.28, and one km from my house it was 15.86. This was on a 30 km stretch of Hwy 85 from Guadalupe, N.L. to Santiago, N.L.

Sounds like you need to get out more. I will take pictures as it appears people need proof to be believers.

Keep in mind, station owners can maintain their own pricing.

Read in Periodico Excelsior web page:

The government is going to maintain the gasoline prices from September 18 due to all the disasters.

Magna .... 16.56
Premium .. 18.32
Diesel ... 17.41

I'm blocking you. It's just too nutty to even read your posts.

16.53 + 6% pump "error" = 16.56 Oooooo that's par for that course. BTW try Balderdash, the expression, the other sounds like Colorado seasoning.

My positive statement about Mexico is not to wear a "No Bad Days" tee shirt after a national tragedy. Learn to love Mexico, warts and all and not slop on whitewash trying to change reality. Paint a warped enough picture and when a visitor gets slapped around with reality they tend to flee with a truly bad impression of the whitewashers. I prey on "deluded expat LIQUIDATING EVERYTHING MOVING BACK TO" sales. Talk to them, without question they were sold a bill of goods and the folks that BS'd them would be in mortal danger around them.

Living here. Loving it, while seeing and accepting reality just cannot be presented to some folks. Pity. You know for years I had a bit of a hard time accepting the fact that if a hospital bill weren't settled on-the-spot the person went to jail. Good thing I believed what I read - Big old cops with big old guns clamped themselves to my side as I was marched to the payment desk of a Seguro Popular.

But "Keep Em Ignorant" is the best policy, right? Especially the part about VISA si Master Card si American Express si Cash si Seguro Popular si Anything else? NO

It was an audio hallucination when I asked the cop "What happens if I cannot pay?"

"You come with us to the jail senor"

Illusionists do not want you to learn about stuff like this.

Wotta hoot. Wotta shame.

I asked a taxiista if he knew of any gasolineras alongside major travel highways that had "accurate" dispensers.

It's a PITA but exiting 15-D or Mex 57 toward a town and gassing up where you see cars at the pumps can save sixteen dollars on an eighty gallon fill. This is not guesswork. The locals know where to fill up. If you see a line waiting for a particular pump wanna guess the reason why? Exactly the same logic that applies to a taqueria. The one's with customers in line sell edible product.

Right on the mark, I wouldn't have expected a positive comment from you about Mexico. Still not sure if you're real and truly live in the country or make this "stuff" up.

Current official prices for September:

Al 13 de septiembre:
Gasolina Magna: máximo de 16.53 pesos por litro
Gasolina Premium: máximo de 18.32 pesos por litro
Diésel: máximo de 17.35 pesos por litro

In my area, 35 kms south of Monterrey, the price for Magna is 16.30 and as far south as San Luis Potosi it is still hovering at 15.60 per liter.

However, this is a forum and it is personal experience or opinion based. Rarely do I see facts presented here. Mostly hearsay and boulder dash to put it lightly.

Just like the thread on pickup weights, no one here can resolve that. Get real. Page after page of, well I don't know what.

The refinery at Salina Cruz had some damage from the earthquake and was running slower, the government announced after the hurricane and the quake that there would be no shortage of fuel, famous last words now they announced that there might be some problem in the supply of fuel due to the hurricane in Texas, Veracruz and the quake, this translates to "pay more per litro" at the pump, fuel prices have gone up about one peso per litro at the pumps in Ciudad Satelite al ready.

New gasolinazo on the way you can bet on that one!

I may have to reconsider traveling to Mexico if the price of fuel continues to climb!

MORENA is going to take the presidency the PRI is history. Mexico is different from the USA. When AMLO Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is questioned about this after his win, he is going to give the classic Mexican shrug, but here's the difference...(AMLO speaks)

"I have been saying for years that Mexico desperately needs to build and modernize our refineries and infrastructure. Here is our chance to take back our oil and make Mexico independent of foreign greed".

He will have the perfect scapegoat.

I hope you are correct Tequila. But a MORENA win is certain. This I would be willing to bet on - I need the money :)

with an election in july, I am skeptical
