I like mexico...... It's 9:00am Sir you need fuel? Yea, No fuel till 4pm can
have by 11am for $20.00 hahaha just love it down there. Or we don't know
ware the fuel truck drive has gone come back tomarrow.


Inside information. NEVER walk up to the fuel guy and ask him for fuel.
You ask him about the day. You ask him about his family (in Mexico you
always ask about family before discussing business). Then, you can ask
about fuel. They consider Americans to be insulting when they just walk
up and start doing business.

Tipping is also highly encouraged. The fuel guy at Loreto sits behind a
desk and will actually wiggle the tip cup as you speak with him. No one
expects large amounts of money, usually a dollar will do. Same for the
airport official.
