The biggest shock I had was in the early 70s I hired a car and driver to go from Martinez De la Torre (sp) to Villa Hermosa, Tabasco.
It cost me 1,000 pesos.
I went across the border in the early 90s and a coke was 1,050 pesos.

After Cancun opened, I found it interesting that your best deal depended on the type of money spent. Street vendors wanted pesos (they couldn't exchange dollars), restaurants and small shops wanted dollars (to spend when they went north) and finally certain high end shops wanted credit cards ( so they could prove to the government what they making).
