Pemex Stations in Baja
So, I'm tentatively planning my refueling points in Baja. It gets a little tricky because, unless I'm mistaken, there are no open Pemex stations between El Rosario and Guerro Negro, a distance of 225 miles through open desert.
However, there are, as I recall, two places where people are know to sell gas on the side of the road. These locations are Catavina, BC and the exit to Bahia de Los Angeles.
So, the distances between these locations are something like this:
Mile 0 El Rosario - Last open Pemex station for 225 miles.
Mile 76 Catavina, BC - People selling gas on the side of the highway.
Mile 140 Exit to Bahia Los Angeles, Mexico. Dude selling gas out of a 55 gallon drum in the back of a pickup.
Mile 225 Guerro Negro, BC, Mexico. Open Pemex station.
So, now that I look at it, it seems to me that there are people selling gas on the side of the road at approximately 75 mile intervals.
The other part that I recall was that there was no gas from Ciudad Constitucion to La Paz, a distance of 130 miles.
