News, Drivers make run for the border to save on gas. (truck, unleaded)

$2.54 a gallon due to price supports — but lots of idling to get back to U.S.

SAN DIEGO - If there's pain at the pump in the U.S., Mexico may just have a remedy. A gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in San Diego retails for an average price of $4.61 a gallon.

Yup, I'm hearing of folks here in San Diego doing just that. A buddy's brother just went, if I'm not mistaken. You just have to take into consideration that 1)kidnappings are up, and most San Diegans are being advised not to go to TJ, and 2) the border lines that can sometimes be in excess of 5 hours.

I am pretty sure that people who do this fill up gas cans to last them a while

Anybody have a used tanker truck and know where to sneak across the border?
