MEXICOWANDERER

Esos gasolinistas se llaman ángeles.
Those gasoline sellers are called "Angels" in Spanish. They drive 76 miles to El Rosario to fill their drums at the gasolinera of Antonio Munoz. A gasoline station in Mexico is called a gasolinera. It helps to memorize this word as the term "Pemex" confuses many people who are not familiar with English speaking visitors.
A good point about the angeles is that when you pay for 20 liters of comestible (fuel) you get 20 liters. Sometimes a few drops more. It is common for an angel to drive 150 miles and stay in the hot sun all summer and if they charge a 3 dollar per gallon extra, the cost of hauling a drum 150 miles, and sucking on a hose per order warrants an ice cold drink in my book.
As far as the pipeline robbers go, a great deal of the money goes into the pockets of organized crime. I wish them nothing but sparks en their endeavors.
