Some irony with your morning coffee:

"The cross-border commerce is raising the ire of some Mexicans...in Juarez...don't like the idea of U.S. consumers taking advantage of fuel prices kept artificially low courtesy of their own tax dollars..."

Think of all the tax money that the US and border states are losing because of this!!!

If ever there were a reason to build a wall and build it now, this is it!!!

Personally I would do it on a daily basis, as much as I can afford, boaters have been doing this for awhile now. Granted PEMEX gas is crappy but the diesel is adequate for most engines.

The cross-border commerce is raising the ire of some Mexican fuel consumers in Juarez; they don't like the idea of U.S. consumers taking advantage of fuel prices kept artificially low courtesy of their own tax dollars.

I won't print what I'm thinking...

As they say.....

.....you can't make this stuff up....

I wonder how many of the Juarez-ites(Juarez-ians)? who are 'upset' have been illegal workers in the U.S.?

***The cross-border commerce is raising the ire of some Mexican fuel consumers in Juarez; they don’t like the idea of U.S. consumers taking advantage of fuel prices kept artificially low courtesy of their own tax dollars.***

But many of them will cross the border to have a bady in the US at taxpayer expense, and for instant citizenship for their little ones....

Nothing infuriates Mexico more than US citizens obtaining a benefit from their presence. We must immediately impose a border-jumper tax and fund border control measures to prevent such an obvious benefit from accruing to the stupid Gringos, errr, Americans.

“The cross-border commerce is raising the ire of some Mexican fuel consumers in Juarez; they don’t like the idea of U.S. consumers taking advantage of fuel prices kept artificially low courtesy of their own tax dollars.”

And now the Mexicans have an inkling - just an inkling - of how we have felt support an enormous part of their population for the last few decades!

"Some irony with your morning coffee:"

Hope everyone within 100 miles of the border takes a tanker truck down there and loads up on Mexican taxpayer goodies.

Buying diesel in Mexico avoids the sulfur reductions (clean diesel) that California thrust upon the country. I think that a primary reason for the difference between the cost of diesel and unleaded gas is the reductions in sulfur imposed by California. There may be other factors such as increased world wide demand for diesel but I suspect that the sulfur emissions reduction (a factor of 10) has been the driving influence. As evidence, I understand that commercial grade diesel fuel can be purchased for much lower price in this country than the clean diesel sold as a retail fuel. I understand that it is illegal to use the commercial grade diesel fuel in a private vehicle. Buying gas in Juarez is a protest against the California clean diesel regulations.
