Gas Saving Tip: Cross the Border For Way Cheaper Gas!
Jun 24th, 2008 by Rich Page
If you are one of those folks who are lucky enough to live right next to the Mexican border, I have a great gas saving idea for you. Did you realize that gas is around $2 cheaper just over the border in Mexico? For example, in Tijuana (close to San Diego), gas prices last week were only $2.54 - thats around $2 cheaper than in San Diego! Even if you have a fairly small 14 gallon tank, that saves you around $20 in gas!
Fair enough, you might wait a while crossing the border back, but if you have a big truck, or a gas guzzler, with a big fuel tank, this is even more worth while - if you have a 25 gallon tank, this saves you nearly $60 by gassing up there! And plus you can grab a few tacos down there (and save even more money on some prescreption meds haha)! So there you have it, go take a trip across the border and hang out with our Mexican friends to save on gas!

There, inside a cavernous garage piled high with auto parts, a team of mechanics has been busy installing extra-large secondary fuel tanks.
As gas prices reach once-unthinkable levels, drivers are turning to these bigger-than-normal tanks to fill up with more fuel at once – making the trip to Mexico for cheap gas even more lucrative……..
