Last I heard the law to allow purchasing from anywhere went into affect April 1, 2016 - but I could be wrong - I posted about it way back last winter and forget the details.
There are now a number of what I call consortiums made up of many franchisees who have joined together as one group. One I have seen a lot is G500 - seen on signs in many Pemex stations. There were 500 franchisees but now I have heard they are up to over 1,000. Anway, this gives these groups some serious buying power - and they can use their own tankers to haul fuel from wherever.
What this all adds up to at this point I do not know - time will tell - but watch for stations with big banners saying things like G500 - and I think OXXO is also going to be hauling their own fuel but not sure - I also heard OXXO may even change the name of their fuel so the sign may not say Pemex anymore. Then there was a story that Gulf is going to be opening stations in Mexico that will show the Gulf brand sign. Who knows what will happen next?
