Chevron's in our area all owned by same company (G&M), $3.39.....ouch!

 

$3.21 on Saturdy. Chevron, Slauson at Serapis.

 

Stop at the food for less fuels off of cherry and the 91fwy. It was $3.17 friday.

 

Interesting looking back through this thread. It's been almost 2 years since prices were hovering around $2 per gallon.

 

I won't hold my breath for a $2.10 price range. Sure is nice to dream though.

 

in my area here in nor cal it about 3.45

 

3.29 is the best I've seen around here. Curious to see what it is out on base. (I try to top off out there any time I'm in the area.)

 

$3.17 last night at Petro Bras on Alondra and Garfield.

 

It's still about $2.25............................................. ...............................in Baja.

 

I wouldn't run that stuff though....at least not in a newer truck.

 

Hahahaha!

All the Baja Norte diesel is ULSD from Southern California!!

 

From nice clean tanks? Really?

 

Two different issues.
Baja Norte (and usually most of Baja Sur) is U.S. ULSD diesel.

re: clean tanks

You do have to be careful where you buy diesel and carry a extra set of filters (always a good idea) but we on the race team have driven our many SD's thousand of miles in Baja with very, very rarely any issues.
Not saying it doesn't happen but its a bit overblown. But that's why we have filters and it can happen in the U.S.

Tips

1. Fuel up at busy, newer stations where you see a lot of trucks.
2. If you see a station getting a fuel delivery don't get fuel there unless there is no other choice. The delivery may stir up whatever MAY be in the tank.
3. Never pass up fuel in Baja, especially on a race weekend.

Common sense is your friend.

The reason diesel is cheap in Mexico is because it is subsidized (no taxes) by the government to keep freight and transportation cost down. Private citzens are not allowed to own diesel vehicles unless they are specifically for commercial use.

 

So how can US citizens buy diesel in Mexico?

 

With cash?

I have heard that you cannot bring back more than what is in your tank. Some guys tried to fill drums. But I don't have any first hand knowledge. I'm sure Rick knows. How about a Transfer Flow tank in the bed? Can you fill that and bring it back?
