I got gas at Kroger the other day for 2.80! Yup I did! I get my points And it all goes for gas! I bought 2 gift cards one was to Chili's and you get 4X's the points. 25 dollar gift card gives you 100 points. 10 cents off of gas Then bought a gift card for 100 dollars for bed bath and beyond that gives me 200. points hip hip!! So I was so excited! So I might have to get me more gift cards! And use them myself. For the places I go like Target and such.

Gassed Mom's bomb today at 8F - $3.75. What a bad time to shut down refineries for "maintenance." Sounds like a miracle to me.

That would explain the price jumps today. The closest gas station went from 3.31 to 3.34 to 3.39 to 3.41 today. Thought I was seeing things at first.

Gas was $3.65 earlier today on the way to $3.79. I got Mom's car to town soon enough before BP raised the price. Since I was there, I washed some of her windows and the head/tail lights.

In Mexico regular gas is $3.58 a gallon, $0.94 a liter.
That is country wide because gasoline is owned by the government. The price goes up each month on the 10th.
This is bad because Mexicans who have to drive to work spend all their money on transportation. The State Minimum Wage in Jalisco is $5 dollars a day, not an hour, a day.
Few people anywhere are paid that little but gardeners and maids get paid extremely well by us foreigners and we pay about $3-$4 dollars an hour. Mexicans pay far less than that an hour. I was shocked when I first got here that a wealthy Mexican woman was paying her maid $8 dollars a day for an 8 hour day.
Gas keeps going up here to pay off all the corruption in Pemex, the oil company. The new presidente of Mexico is letting private companies back into Mexico. I hope competition lowers the price. I don't know how the working Mexicans can afford this.

axixic wow! Thats something! Geeze ohh pete! Thats slave wages! How do they expect people to live! I guess thats why alot of mexicans come to Mi. The farmers pay them min. wage to work in the field, alot of them have what we call Mexican shanties where it's like a mini complex where the Mexicans from one farmer will live all together. I think they work here during the spring and summer then head back in the fall. I am sure it really helps their families.

Mexico's economy is improving and the illegal immigration rate into the U.S. from Mexico has been zero since 2008. Illegal Mexicans are moving back home for jobs, zeroing out the few who move to the U.S. The Mexican unemployment rate is 5%.
Farm wages are good wages for many Mexicans but those are the Mexicans who have work visas, not the illegals.
I also don't know how they make it here but generations all live together and help each other out. Circuses are big in Mexico. The ticket is $20 pesos ($1.50 US) and that is all the kids spend. They have as good a time looking at everything without taking rides or buying food. I've tried to give neighbor kids money to spend but their parents say "No." The $20 pesos is all they need. Don't we wish our kids were like that?
They all seem to be happier than us. They expect less in life and rejoice in what little they have but it still bothers me.
