Tijuana's stations; Pemex franchises, Mobil, Shell, Chevron and Arco; compete directly with San Diego prices across the border, and many locals fill on whichever side is cheaper that week. Border-zone pricing makes this one of Mexico's most competitive fuel markets. EV charging is appearing near the crossings and malls.
Local tips
- Compare with San Diego prices; the cheaper side flips with the peso and tax changes.
- Arco and Chevron branded sites here mirror U.S. operations and price sharply.
- Border waits are long; don't queue for El Chaparral or Otay on a near-empty tank.
