Gas was $4.50 a gallon two years ago down there( State Run Oil Company), it's probably up to $6.00 now.
I'ts been more than two years since we went deep into Mexico. I don't see how their own people could afford that!
We go to the border town of Progresso several times a year. Watch out for cell phones though. We've had ours 'cloned' twice!!
Somehow they steal the number and use it to call everywhere!
