Thanks Carry Bean for posting. I read it and quickly changed into street clothes and flew out the door. It was quick. They filled the tank. The whole trip took 45 minutes from my house and back.

Some of the sources may be inflating their own importance, but it doesn't sound "fake" to me. Just depressing. Thanks, I think.

Seth Harp piece from about 6 mos. ago that is somewhat accurate but hyperbolic according to the Woodrow Wilson Institute.

That is one long read, and probably all true. Note that it from September, 2018, so things have changed since then. Probably have gotten worse.

Yes, long read, but interesting.

Pemex needs clearing up.

My worry is for the President. I can't believe w/o security he has not been terminated with extreme prejudice by a cartel.

So has anyone seen any stations with fuel today?

by Wide Sky Sun Jan 20, 2019 12:35 pm

Yep Chapala centro (across from the charros arena); was in line from 10:15 to 11:45; unlimited fill up

by cypress Sun Jan 20, 2019 1:09 pm

Chapala centro still open at 12:30

by Problem Child Sun Jan 20, 2019 1:17 pm

IMO, will settle out within a week.

by Intercasa Sun Jan 20, 2019 4:14 pm

2 weeks minimum to be back to normal, they say duct opening next week... theyve said that for 2 weeks now, then a week after that happens to get things normalized

Good article, thanks for posting it Ferret. I did not know this was as big as it is. Yes, depressing.

Who are "they" ?

by cypress Mon Jan 21, 2019 2:26 pm

There is still gas in SJC. A zoo.

by cypress Mon Jan 21, 2019 3:24 pm

It was chaotic in the gas line in SJC today. No one in charge. People were walking to the front of the line of cars carrying large gas containers and getting served right away. Grrr

by kiko Mon Jan 21, 2019 4:04 pm

El Chante Pemex just opened maybe 1 hr wait

by Trailrunner Mon Jan 21, 2019 4:14 pm

Thanks for the gas updates, guys, it's appreciated.

by CanuckBob Mon Jan 21, 2019 4:15 pm

Yes, please keep them coming.

by kiko Mon Jan 21, 2019 4:51 pm
