GasoApp and Guia Pemex (Similar to GasBuddy)

[qtla9111]

Not quite 100% but neither is GasBuddy. Here are the two apps available for Android and iOS.

GasoApp (on Google Play)

I haven´t tried it yet, but users say that the downside is updated information. Hey,it´s a start and I knew if GasBuddy didn´t do it, someone would.

Gasoapp is the official Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) application of the that will allow you to locate the nearest gas station at the national level, lowest price or both, according to your location at that moment and type of fuel for a determined radius of kilometers . It has information about the products and prices of the gas stations allowed by the CRE, you can rate the service of the gas station and see the ratings that have been posted.

Guia Pemex is the other but it is only for Pemex labeled stations

Driving from the countryside yesterday to the northern most side of the Monterrey Metro area, prices ran the gamut. A lot depended on accessability on major thorough fares, level of residential areas and commercial centers nearby. I saw a price difference of 35 centavos, for our SUV that's about a 35 peso difference.

Some folks are price watchers...

I personally am a "liter watcher"...

40 liters 668 pesos

use the "wrong" station 708 pesos for the same quantity of fuel.

708 / 19 = $37.31

668 / 19 = $35.15


35 centavos liter is like roughly 2% differential.

Difference in liter delivery is 5+% differential.

For the time being IT SEEMS AS THOUGH USA brand gasolineras are adhering to accurate pump dispensing. This depressingly is almost certain to change when pressure to gain clientele is not as strong.

Follow the taxis and the public in choosing a gasolinera. Those located on major interstate highways are inevitably the greediest.

Rounded off ---

A 100 gallon fuel up will cost $335.00 or $352.00 For twenty dollars US I'll drive a couple of miles off the main highway.

Stations in or near the largest cities seem to have pumps with the least "error". The most erroneous pumps are along the west coast, the southern 25% of the country and on the Baja California peninsula.

I remember the chofer of a TNS bus telling me (the gasolinera on the intersection of Mex 2 and Mex 15 in Sta Ana Sonora) "We get fuel here because they cheat us least"




For eleven gallons of gasoline. In a hundred gallon tank at 7 mpg it can add up fast.

Using PROFECO to monitor is like using a squirt gun on a forest fire. I can afford "inaccurate" dispensers. My friends and family cannot.

Price versus liters reminds me of the song Blondie sang...

"One way or the other....

I'm gonna gitcha gitcha gitcha

One way or the other..."

Except for the land, it costs far more to erect a franchise than it does in the USA. Thank Mexican bureaucracy for that. Over one hundred scheduled federal inspections during construction. A three feet high stack of paperwork from 11 different agencies.
