Before the gubment stopped us, lots of people down here were driving to mexico to get unblended gas and fill up some drums to bring home. Better mileage at 1/2 the cost of gas here.

Corn is for eating, not driving
It's funny about the cost of fuel in Mexico.All PEMEX fuel is refined from Mexican crude in Houston,TX,then "exported" to Mexico for sale at the national stations.Texas truckers are driving across the border into Mexico to buy diesel manufactured in the U.S.,at less than half the price! It's less than 1/10th the cost in Venezuela.
