Anyone have a current price? I was in Agua Prieta yesterday and paid 4 bucks a gallon by my math.

$4.11

Magna (unleaded) was 22.87 pesos/liter this morning at the Rocky Point Pemex on Josefa. In Sonoyta this morning, 18.19 pesos/liter for Magna at Pemex.

Thx, Using 20.8-1 gas in Sonoyta is $3.32 and in Penasco it's $4.18 per gallon. I know where I'm filling up tomorrow on my trip to Cholla.

We came down to Cholla today, gas price signs were $4.99 in Why and at the Lukeville station.
The Circle K was showing $4.18, I bet someone didn't change the sign yet.
In Sonoyta magna was still 18.19 per L. It took 10.2 gallons to fill and cost 722 pesos with 20 peso tip so $3.43 per gallon.
Sonoyta Premium was 20.49 pesos.

Back to the good old days when gas was actually cheaper in Mexico than the USA. Let's go Brandon!

Thanks, Brokenwave, for the update. Gasbuddy shows the metro Phoenix average for unleaded at $4.65/gal on 3/11, so saving $1.20/gallon topping off in Sonoyta (and paying in pesos) makes some sense these days. The price differences in these markets are fascinating. If you're paying in USD, you'll get clipped a little in the peso/dollar forex - ARCO in Penasco posts a 19/1 exchange and I saw a few Pemex stores post 18/1. I'm also curious how accurate the pumps are at dispensing the full liter/gallon that you're paying for. I've always been satisfied with the gas quality and have never had any issues with Pemex gas.

I have found the pumps I used at the Oxxo in Sonoyta to be fair, I figured I needed about 10 gallons to fill and it took 10.2 gallons.
Unlike some of the pumps in Penasco where you get 80-90% of what the pump shows.
Their exchange rate at the Oxxo was 18.9-1.

Did you pay with cash, pesos or Visa/debit?
brokenwave
I paid with extra Pesos I had. The atm I used gave me an exchange rate of 20.7-1 last trip. I only use a credit card in penasco for big items and only at larger stores I've dealt with before.
richwi
Using the exchange rate I got today at Banorte (20.85) and the price of gas (magna) directly across the street (22.83/ltr), gas is 4.14/gal today

$3.30 in Sonoyta

Looks like the SEA-Quoia and Cortez Dinghy are getting filled up in Sonoyta this weekend!

It would have been $25 more in Phx and $40 more in Ajo.

If Trump wins in 2024 and pulls out of nato leaving the Russians to slaughter anyone in their path gas will be cheap again for a while……

Just read in the lame stream media that El Presidente de Mehico announced today that he will not allow gringos to buy gazolina at any Mex border town from TJ to Texas. Especially TJ where it is $3.70 a gallon and San Diego where it is $7.70 a gallon causing shortages for de peeps de Mehico. Anyone could'a seen that coming.

I wonder if PP is considered a border town? Then as a matter of fact last weekend we topped off my Raptor and Rubicon in SLRC before crossing back to Yuma where the gaz is just under $5 a gallon.

Where do you get your propaganda from? You just make it up on the fly? Are you just fishing for someone to set you straight on facts?

I'm not going to bite on the hook baited with poo.

Friday 4/1 Sonoyta VIP 76 (formerly the big Circle Kulo): Paid $3.52/gallon. Regular was 18.18/liter. No gas only diesel at the OXXO/PEM at the shortcut that definitely doesn't exist.

Saturday 4/2 PP/Cholla Bay Windmill Pemex: No gas. Elsewhere in RP gas was 22.something per liter. Didn't see any lines or issues with getting gas driving around town.

On our return.

Monday 4/4 Sonoyta VIP 76: Price increase from 18 to 20.something pesos per liter. Didn't even bother doing the math. Just filled it up. Llena lo por favor. No gas only diesel again at the Oxxo/Pemex on the fake news shortcut that doesn't exist.

Joe............

You can thank the Snow Birds for all of the no-gaz shit.

Many of those RV's have fuel tanks that hold 100 gallons plus.

They are sucking Yuma dry today as well. Heading home to roost for the summer.

Had to run one off today that parked in from of my shack and started up his shitty generator to cool off while they were "grabbing a bite to eat"

So you chased an RV from a public street? What did you do wave a 12 gauge at them?

You should syphon their gas next time
Jungle Jim
It is against the law to park an RV on a residential street in Yuma. Also, there is a one hour limit for them to park in a public parking lot like Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot and any shopping mall.

As for the no-gaz shit, there is only one person that is responsible for that and he is the "leader of the free world" our "presidente" Obiden.

JJ freedom has a price….this time it is a extra buck a gallon…but since you sell all those chinese commie car parts you might be ok with Putin too…like the last guy.
Jungle Jim
So Jerry..........

I couldn't give a shit if I had to pay twenty bucks a gallon for gaz or diesel. All would be a business tax write off to include boat, Jeep and Raptor fuel. As for your insinuation of me selling krap chink commie parts, just how do you know such "facts"?

AZRob
I saw $4.79 $4.99 $5.29 $5.39 gal today around the east side of AZ Maricopa County
AZRob
is gas over $3.69 a gallon there?
brokenwave
In Penasco, yes more expensive.
2 weeks ago, Magna Regular gas in Penasco was 23 pesos per liter approx $4.30 per gallon.

In Sonoyta at the OXXO on Septembre Street bypass, it was 18.89 per liter so, approx $3.50 per gallon for Magna Regular.
In Why it was $4.49 and I was told it's $4.09 or 4.29 at the Gastrak border station.

$4.20 a gallon is 60 cents more than I paid today in Tucson.Hey guys I thought this was Dark Brandons fault? On inflationConsumer prices in Mexico rose 8.7 percent year-on-year in September of 2022, the same as in the previous month, remaining the highest inflation rate since December 2000 and almost in line with market expectations of 8.75 percent. .
brokenwave
The price of Magna in Sonoyta is the same as in mid Aug 18.89 pesos.
Amazing gas in Tucson is so much cheaper than Phx area, approx $1.00 per gallon, Price in Sonoyta is the about the same as Tucson.

Chandler/ Ahwatukee is $4.69. Ridiculous.

We were in Spain and Portugal the past 3 weeks, gas was $6.75 gallon, diesel was $7.70.
On all the highways we traveled on, there is virtually no traffic from the northern region at Bilboa/San Sebastian area
all the way south to Lisbon.
It's a Beautiful and fun part of the world, Porto PT is great.

We're going to Penasco next week and it's going to be weird going from Spanish/Portugese speaking places that are so clean
to Penasco which isn't.

I don't get the idea of gas prices being so important. It is expensive to drive and that's why we walk a lot. Having said that....the gas station on he corner near my house in Peñasco is busy all the time. The prices will be exactly what the market will allow no matter what country you are in..

The $3.59/gal I paid in Sonoyta on Monday vs. the $4.69/gal at home sure makes the drive to Penasco a little easier to swallow.

3.33 at Costco in Tucson today and 3.23 at the K on Miracle mile
