The Pemex diesel sold in Mexico is excellent.

Costs a little more than in the US but the cetane averages 52 whereas in the US it's in the low 40s.

I used to fill up around the Rancho California area until I saw how much better my mpgs and power were with Pemex, after that I tried to aim for a empty tank around Tijuana.

Who ta thunk fuel prices would be more expensive across the border??? Ditto that Mexican dinosaurs would be of much better quality than gringosaurs. Guess I need to get out more! Thanks, Bill.

OK I,ll try Pemex, been done there many times by motercycle and after money conversion and liter conversion gas seemed to be about 50 cents a gallon more then in US, maybe diesel is cheaper than gas. . Chris

illflem,



I remember that fuel well, lot's of oil in and more power. I haven't gone down there since the late '70's when it was about 11 cents a gallon

Good info here http://math.ucr.edu/ftm/bajaPages/BajaRoadPages/General/FuelGasDiesel.html



says that the price within 25 miles of the border is now close to the same as the US.



Pay attention to the rip-off section. I had forgot about the old trick where the attendant starts filling you up without resetting the meter to zero, often before you get a chance to get out of your vehicle and look.
