Many motorists believe Mexican fuel is inferior to gasoline refined in the United States. Also, there is an undercurrent of dissatisfaction in Mexico about Pemex and how it has managed the nation's petroleum resources.
Such views stem at least partly from a gasoline-quality scandal that erupted eight years ago.
About 90 percent of Mexico's gas stations were adulterating fuel or selling it illegally outside government standards, according to data from Mexico's Federal Office for Consumer Protection, the Federal Department for the Public and Pemex.
The quality of Mexican gasoline has improved since then, said Alejandro Díaz Bautista, who has studied Mexican fuel for years as a researcher at the College of the Northern Border, an academic center south of Tijuana.
In 2005, federal authorities began placing holographic seals on pumps at every gas station in Mexico to assure consumers that they were getting the correct quality and quantity of fuel.
Di'az said Mexican gasoline has higher concentrations of sulfur than U.S. fuel. That doesn't mean that American cars won't run well on Mexican fuel, but it could affect the life span of catalytic converters used in motor vehicle exhaust systems to reduce harmful emissions.
“It's possible that after many years of using Mexican gasoline, a car could fail the California smog test,” Di'az said.

Why buy a tanker when you can steal one with gas already in it!

maybe just one year in a maximum security pounding in the *** prison!!
40,000 galons X $3/galon (got to sell cheap to get rid of it quick) = $120K,
that's not worth the risk, althou it would buy you that new ZR1!!
