Pemex Gasoline Adventures

Bajadock: The “what” of this video is interesting, which is that this Ensenada Pemex is overcharging for their “short pours”.  It has gone viral on the interwebs past few days.

Videos of people shopping, driving or feeding their cats is never as exciting as the idea of the vid was to the videographer/cat owner.  Similarly, gasoline pumping videos lack a certain dramatic premise, don’t ya think?  But, the black and yellow paint job on the curb is nicely done.

The container led to eight different stations in different colonies, and by experiment, flunked both.
