hey all, just wanted to let you know that if you live close enough to a border town in mexico, you might be able to get ultra low sulfur diesel for half the price. i live in el paso, texas. diesel is averaging $4.79 a gallon, i pumped today in juarez, mex for $2.19 a gallon(not liters, gallons!) i've been driving around with mexican(pemex) diesel for about 3 weeks now and my truck feels fine. i have a 2008 lmm and i've been checking the diesel filter gauge daily and it hasn't changed one percent. im really considering one of those titan tanks so i dont have to be going into juarez so often...anywho,if you do go to mexico, make sure the city your in carries ulsd for those with lmms

Yeah I got sum for 2.14 below McAllen Texas.......Only 61 to fill me up from ememty. So how can Mexico sell it for that when we cant. Cause you know PEMEX is not losing any money. This is BS.

Bingo! X2

Mexico has vigilantes to deal with money sucking big oil execs...lol

Not to dampen the thread, but how were the lines to cross the border and at the pumps? I saw on the news that the lines were terrible because of all the people going there to buy fuel. The news story did not say if the problem was thru TX, AZ. or CA.
I plan on buying some fuel there, if I ever get down that way. Who could pass it up?

Does Mexico subsidise there diesel fuel? I was in Silao Mx for work a few weeks ago and the price of gasoline once converted from liters to gallons and pesos to dollars was within 20C of michigan gas prices

hell go to del rio the lines were not that long that last time i was visiting my brother

it all depends on what time you are crossing the border, just like rush hour traffic; you need to avoid anytime that people are commuting to work or school. i usually go between 2-4 pm and i only wait about 10-15 minutes.

A lot of countries subsidize their fuel prices...Mexico & China are 2 of the bigger ones I remember...although, China is supposedly going to cut back on the subsidies due to the higher prices.

I believe that India also subsidizes diesel fuel costs. So you have China and India, the two most populous countries in the world that are sucking huge volumes of oil/diesel and joe public is not paying for it in those countries.

DANG!!! Can somebody mail some to me:)

hmmm, You guys in TX,AZ,CA should start going over to Mexico and buying it by the tanker loads and bring it back for everyone else:D

^^^^^WOW

anywho, just saw this morning that china is increasing their subsidy prices by 18% for gas & 40% for diesel. anyways when did mexico start pumping ulsd? we r in cali & have groups of friends getting together to go down & fill up. word i heard is that its lsd, it's $2.50 a gallon & u can't bring back more then 190 gallons in the bed of ur truck plus ur tank. everyone here is getting auxilary tanks for this reason. not sure what is true & what is b.s. but i will soon enough. I am dpf deleting so I can do the trips with them. If anyone knows for sure that mexico is pumping ulsd please confirm that, I am very interested to know.

and joe public is not paying for it in those countries.


Around here, if the government is paying for something, it just means that we're paying, then they're mismanaging the money, and dishing it out.

Moved to Fluids section!

Well my dad told me the other day on the news. Mexican stations was sell diesel for more now to Americans. Has anyone experenced this or heard of this yet?

i cross at to sonoyta only used up 9.1 gals to get there and fill up 119 plus 34 2.24 /gal had no issues with the lmm. of cours the dealers and people here are going to scare you about mexico gas, that way you would not buy it. bs. lower your price maybe we will keep our money here in this country.

My uncle was turned away from three stations in mexico on his way home from fourth of july in rocky point. Has anyone else had any problems with them refusing to fill your truck?
