For years and years down here, PEMEX sold "Almost Gasoline" By today's standard of R+M / 2, Super Mexolina would have had a "75" rating. But then the "Vochitos" Volkswagen Beetles had a compression ratio of 5.5 to 1 (Briggs & Stratton level)
Trips down here involved a choice rhetard* the timing so far, the engine thought today is yesterday, or suffer ventilated pistons and ell shaped connecting rods.
Someone at that station has a cute sense of humor
REGULAR
(Lowest, ordinary, entry level, budget, basic, plain)
*Dont'cha love the word police?
The cost of fuel can be ranted as being RIDICULOUSLY DIRT CHEAP by folks that easily afford it. Then there are the upper crust that would gag at the thought of purchasing the "easily affordable's" home as a rental (I don't do ghetto?).
The cost of fuel is THE (not merely "A") primary source of inflation. The cost of fuel and transportation down here is THE reason sending a 2 pound parcel 400 miles costs FIFTEEN DOLLARS. This is why AMAZON does not have a CLUE as to why it's sales in Mexico have been a huge disappointment. This is THE reason why cornfields for tortilla dough are regional here. To say one has studied this subject (fuel versus inflation) and had missed the effects of Ronald Reagan's administration on the price of fuel, inflation and basic price indices raises my eyebrows. Thoroughly confused members of some governments would LOVE to see fifteen dollar a gallon gasoline - at eight percent tax .24 cents at $3.00 per gallon versus $1.20 per gallon at $15.00 gallon. Tens of millions of dollars in "missed revenue" in the People's Republic, alone. BAH!
