Real-World Context (2024)

• Mexico average (Magna): ~24 MXN/L → ~$4.60/gal (at 18 MXN/USD)
• US average (regular): ~$3.50/gal
• Mexico is often cheaper — but varies by state (border zones have subsidies)

Pro Tips

• Check CRE (Comisión Reguladora de Energía) app/site for daily max prices by city.
• Border zones (franja fronteriza) have lower IVA (8% vs 16%) and price caps.
• Pemex = state brand; private stations (Shell, BP, G500) may differ slightly.
• Always use current exchange rate — 0.051 is outdated (2024 ~ 0.055–0.060).
