TIJUANA, Mexico -- Mexico has suspended its three-month-old policy that had its gasoline stations along the northern border offering prices comparable to those in the U.S. because prices in the U.S. are now higher than those set by the Mexican government, said a report by KNSD-TV, San Diego.

Mexico controls the state oil monopoly Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) and sets national retail gasoline prices. Station owners on the 2,000-mile U.S. border have long complained that they have lost business to U.S. stations that had lower prices, so--as reported in CSP Daily News--the government in December allowed about 500 stations located within 20 kilometers of the U.S.-Mexico border to tie their prices to the U.S. rates.
