The Price of Fuel in Mexico

By Richard | November 14, 2007 | Cabo San Lucas and the Rest of Mananaland |

The crew of Profligate fueled up at Marina Cabo San Lucas last Saturday and would like to report the following prices:

  • Diesel was 6.63 pesos a litre or 25.11 pesos a gallon
  • Gasoline was 7.85 pesos a litre or 29.71 a pesos a gallon

The exhange rate between the peso and the dollar is about 10.5 to 1, which means that diesel was a little less than $2.50 U.S. a gallon. Gas was just under $3 U.S. a gallon.

Because Pemex is controlled by the state, the price of diesel and gas should be about the same everywhere.
