It costs whatever it costs here. Just a few years ago we were paying about one US Dll more per gallon for gasoline here, before the price of gas started to rise through the roof in The US. At the equivalent of $2.60 per gallon it is acceptable with me. The monthly rises are almost negligible when you consider that they are in Centavos, and a Centavo is less than a US Mil. A Peso today equals about 8 US Cents, there are 100 Centavos per Peso.
I visited one of my daughters in California about three years ago. We were always looking for the few service stations that were selling gas cheaply at about $2.90 US Dlls per gallon, most of the gas stations up there were selling gas at about $3.30 US Dlls per gallon at that time.
We don't do much driving here. My wife makes one or two trips to Mexico City every month, so we need to fill the tank on her van every week or 10 days. I drive our second car locally just one or two days per month, so I need to fill the tank in it every 3 or 4 months.
While it is always nice to save money, the price of gasoline doesn't concern me much here.
