Cheap Gas - American Border Jumpers

May 30, 2008

Normally here at CarFront we like to keep our stories specific to high end cars or car companies, this one however, is an exception.

We’re starting to see a reverse surge the opposite way we are used to when it comes to the Mexican border. Americans are making the drive into Tijuana to save money at the pump. Just how much are people saving? For a gallon of regular, California residents are at about $4 a gallon. The drive down south of the border is saving them about $1.25, with the price in Mexico sitting at about $2.75 a gallon. The big shocker comes to Diesel, where Californians are paying about $4.71 a gallon, Mexico, $2.10! Thats a savings of $2.61 a gallon. I guess it’s our turn to leech a little bit?
