Mr. Terrazas, a 48-year-old maintenance worker, is among a flow of American “gas tourists” who, Mexican service stations near the border with El Paso estimate, account for a 50 percent surge in gasoline sales here over the last several months. (Similar increases are reported along the border all the way to Tijuana.) Even the Mexico Tourism Board is promoting the journey.
$2.66 a gallon in Juarez. NewMexiKen paid $3.75 a gallon at Costco in Albuquerque Tuesday. Nationwide the average price for a gallon of regular is $4.07.
Just thought I’d weigh in – $4.43 for regular down the block in the Bronx.
Tuesday evening I paid over $4 for the first time. It’s been over $4 here in Louisville for about three weeks but I didn’t have to fill up until then. $4.099. I drive a mini-van and try to coast a lot.
