So now Texans can buy gas from the Gulf of Mexico that we are prohibited from drilling?
???
We still drill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Does that Russian outfit still have stations in Jersey?
Smart move on their part. My guess is, the Mexicans living in Houston will think it is their patriotic duty to buy Mexican. Success in Houston will mean Pemex stations from Beaumont to San Francisco.
I wonder if Pemex Houston will have brown-shirted attendants that will aggressively attempt to shortchange the customer, just like they do in Puerto Vallarta? :-)
Currently there are 30 drilling rigs operating in the US side of the Gulf of Mexico.
Counts by state and historical

Good info, thanks.
Rather buy here than Venezuelan Citgo.
I had similar thoughts.
I would never put Pemex gas in my vehicle.
Years ago I would cross over into Mexico and get gas real cheap but you always had to put a fuel additive in your tank or else your injectors would become clogged.
Pemex in Houston will be gasoline refined in the US, and not at a Pemex refinery.
They’ll charge by the liter—$150 a gallon. lol. yes, lol.
In pesos.
Our prices in the area are dropping that low, and lower.

As far as I know, Mexico doesn’t still allow foreign owned gas stations there, so why should we allow Pemex?
They are great at assimilating.
They rebranded a couple of years ago. They’re now known as “Valeo”.

Correction: It’s spelled “valero”. Just citgo with a new name.

I avoid buying anything from Mexico. Used to love Thomas English muffins, for example, but I quit buying them after I found out they had been bought by a Mexican company, Bimbo Bakery.
