WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Tuesday offered Americans who live close to the US border with Mexico to enter his country and purchase gasoline at lower prices than that sold in the United States.
“Since the energy crisis started, Mexico has used 72 percent of its crude oil exports to the United States,” Obrador said. “While we’re waiting for prices or gasoline to go down in the United States, we have decided that it was necessary for us to allow Americans who live close to the border… to go and get their gasoline on the Mexican side at lower prices.”
Obrador made the remarks before his bilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden at the White House.

Obrador makes an enticing point.
Lulz.
However, I do remember the days when we used to go to Juárez before it became a death cesspool.
Americans will. As an ex-canadian who used to cross the border into the US for cheaper gas, it’s a no-brainer.
Dementia Joe doesn’t even realize that Obrador was taking a shot at him.
Even the Mexican president is scoring off Joe.
You couldn’t pay me to cross over the border into the God forsaken Hell Hole.
Gropin’ Joe the Pusillanimous Pedo doesn’t know what flavor of pudding DOCTOR Jill gave him for breakfast.
we always did
Until you have to sit in those traffic jams and burn half the fuel you just bought, then be searched for illegal drugs, or shot, or shot at, or kidnapped.
from huachuca to naco back in 1980, just for fun of course..
I went to visit my sister and her husband for Thanksgiving in 1980 when he was stationed at Ft. Bliss in El Paso. They took me down to the border crossing and I walked across. I spent the whole day walking all over Juarez by myself. Never even gave it a thought.
I sure as hell wouldn’t put Mexican gasoline into my 2012 Volkswagen, much less my (semi-old) Jaguar.
if you even have a car left when you come back :P
Gas in Tijuana is $2 USD cheaper per gallon than in San Diego
And take the chance of being assaulted, robbed, kidnapped, shot, killed, or buried in an unmarked grave.
If I can’t drink their water my car can’t burn their fuel 🤪
Be sure to buy Mexican car insurance- yours won’t cover you.
Your gas costs will go way down after they steal your car.
Just run a hose across the border, dumbass
