More recent news about Pemex. I saw headlines on the local papers today and looked online to try to find more of what it is about. This is all bigger numbers than I can fathom or figure out what it means. But it would not seem the price at the pump is going to go down in the foreseeable future. Maybe others can read some of this and maybe find more articles to figure out what it means. Not everything in these articles show the same numbers - variations in each article. At least one article says Mayan crude has sold for as low as $20US a barrel recently. One article says there are now 30 contracts in Mexico with foreign oil companies. One article says Pemex now accounts for about 25% of the federal budget. What it all means to us as travelers is beyond me.
