For those of you that may not know, petroleum is nationalized in Mexico under the name of Pemex.

I have experienced no problems at all. My truck is entirely stock and it gets about 18mpg - according to the computer. As I would burning US diesel, I change the fuel filter and oil regularly. As a side note, I see numerous late model Dodge diesels in Mexico with Mexican plates.

The price for diesel right now is about $2.25 per gallon, up $.25 in the last 12 months in Mexico. In the area, there are hundreds of diesel powered yachts that all run on Pemex diesel. The only problem lately with fuel has been a shortage. A contributing factor leading to the shortages of diesel in Mexico is coming from Americans crossing the border to buy fuel at a cost savings of more than $2.00 per gallon. For gasoline, the variance is closer to $1.50. (diesel is currently at $4.99 here in California at the time of this posting.) Hope that helps.
