Gringos grab gas…
Omar Millan Gonzalez in the San Diego Union (18 June 2008 )
TIJUANA – A critical shortage of diesel fuel resulted Wednesday in cancellations and delays in public and private transportation.
Gas stations still selling diesel have reported huge lines of semis, pickups and municipal buses, something never before seen.
…
Public transit drivers who work the Green and Cream, Red and Cream, and Blue and White lines that crisscross the city said they would stop service at 5 p.m. Wednesday, when their buses will run out of fuel.
“I won’t be able to drive because we won’t have any diesel. This does affect us, but those more directly affected are the public, because we’ll certainly stop early today and we don’t know if we’ll be able to work tomorrow,” said Miguel Duarte, 34, who works for the Green and Cream line that runs from downtown Tijuana to its eastern zone.
The shortage of diesel is the result of several days of heavy buying from California motorists looking to escape record prices.
Trailero at Mexico Trucker Online explains the numbers and data behind what to Kyle at The Sanctuary “looks as if U.S. citizens have found a way to steal from Mexican taxpayers.”

Thanks to Mexico for Subsidizing gasoline, and Canada for subsidizing drugs, what does America subsidize? Food that can’t be eaten, but grown for fuel. The government needs to get out of business and let the free market decide what gets produced and what the prices really should be.
I wonder if it is really subsidizing in the sense of the word?
Mexico is a major producer of petroleum. Where is it written that they, or any other country can’t set the price they won’t to sell it at?
True, Mexico does subsidize commercial trucking operations with a 20% discount off the pump price during the monthly billing cycle.
Truckers here “sign and go” and are billed monthly by PEMEX for their usage. Quaint idea is it not?
