The article said that it was due to a government subsidy.

That would be a chore with the very long wait at the border.

Okay..i'm completely mystified.

What is the government of Mexico doing differently to obtain these great prices, and how come W/we can't follow suit?

I just looked into this...and I've come up with a plausible answer;

They have 9 katrillion kajillion kabillion barrels of oil in the ground, and they're selling it to us as fast as they can.

We have exactly 3 large 2 quart Pepsi bottles full left, it's all owned by a guy named Fred who lives in Oklahoma (who, by the way thoroughly loves to bowl), and Congress won't let us go get any more.

Want really cheap gas? Try Venezuela...it's like 12-cents a gallon there! No joke.
