Sorry, that's not correct.
Q: When will the ULSD requirement take effect?
A: Refiners and importers must ensure that at least 80% of the volume of highway-diesel fuel they produce or import is ULSD-compliant on June 1st, 2006. ULSD requirements for parties downstream, including terminals, take effect on September 1st, 2006. Retail outlets and fleet fueling facilities must be compliant by October 15th, 2006. From June 1st, 2006 to December 1st, 2010 both ULSD and LSD will coexist in the marketplace. Beginning on December 1st, 2010, only ULSD will be available at retail for highway use.
(In California, the date fro terminals is July 15th, 2006 and September 1st, 2006 for retail stations.)

I'm not disputing that it may be ULSD in Nogales. The only point I was making was that just because it comes from a US refiner does not insure that it is ULSD, at least not until Dec 1, 2010.
Again, I'm not disputing that it may be ULSD in Nogales. The only point I was making was that just because it comes from a US refiner does not insure that it is ULSD, at least not until Dec 1, 2010. My apologies to the OP. I didn't mean to hijack your thread.

If anyone wants the list or has a way to post it, email me and I will forward it to you.
I just found this website where Pemex lists all fuel prices - it was linked from the SCT website for mapping Mexico where I was working on finding the Mexican Government maps and mileage and toll calculators....http://www.pemex.com/files/dcpe/petro/epublico_esp.pdf this does not appear to be exactly what we are seeing at the pumps though so not sure how accurate it is - but since it is put out by Pemex you would think it was correct?? Check out the Gov't map website linked on the other post...
Sounds good and you are more knowledgeable, so I stand corrected. I can tell you in AZ there is NOT anything but ULSD. On all of the Diesel pumps there is a sticker stating as of Jan. 07, only ULSD will be available. If you check the Flying J site, only ULSD is available in the SouthWest and West. It does show the Old fuel in parts of the rest of the USA. Good Job, but be assured Nogales is ULSD! I guess we are both partly correct. Take care.

Sorry, I wish I didn't have to tell you this, but you are wrong again. If you look at the Flying J website, it shows 5 sites in AZ and all 5 of them have a price for LSD. I checked with the one in Phoenix, and they confirmed that they have both ULSD and LSD available. Give them a call at (623) 936-1118 if you want to check for yourself. Also checked the Eloy location.... they confirmed both ULSD and LSD available at their site. I didn't bother to check the other 3. The sticker you refer to is on the pumps that handle ULSD and is a regulation to show that they are ULSD compliant. It does not mean that the station does not sell LSD from other pumps.
I don't think you can surmise that the diesel in Nogales is ULSD. It might be, but I have yet to see anything that verifies that it is.
UNCLE, ouch that hurts. LOL! I did not even look at AZ because at the RV island and the Auto island there is not a choice. Only the ULSD with the sticker I spoke of. So I guess the truckers have a choice on their island. Grasshopper says, Sí maestro es correcta. Take care.
For the record, I bought diesel for $6.68 peso/liter today in San Carlos, Sonora. The diving is great, the water is 84 degrees F and the Porta Bote is a very good diving platform.
This coming Sunday is an attempt to put 1000 divers in the water in San Carlos and set a new record.
