a friend of mine is in the process of selling a hotel he owns in mexico. he is frequently traveling between texas and mexico because of this. he told me on the tele today that in spite of the usa's rising gasoline and diesel prices and even shortages, the prices in mexico for gasoline and diesel havent gone up at all because of the hurricane that hit. also there are no fuel shortages in mexico.
in fact, people from texas are driving south of the boarder just to fill up their tanks.
why is this? he thinks the hurricane gave the fuel companys a chance to jack the prices up claiming some sort of fake shortage. we are guessing that mexico wouldnt take any crap from fuel companys the way we willingly allow it here. seems to make sence to me. atleast i cant think of any other reason for this.
