Gasoline is sold by government-owned Pemex stations. The stations are plentiful,
in some areas it seems like there's one on every corner.
A service attendant will pump your fuel, and it is measured in liters (there are
approximately four liters to a gallon). For unleaded gas, ask for "magna sin"
(pronounced "seen") and tell the attendant how much you would like to buy, in
pesos or dollars.
Oftentimes the attendant will wash your windshield when the car is fueling, if you'd
like, feel free to give him a tip (5 pesos, or 50 cents is acceptable, but he'll be
grateful for whatever you give him).
Pemex stations often have restroom facilities and sell snacks, as well as having an
area where compressed air and water are available for free.
Socoada also has a gas station at its facility on Avenida Colegio Militar, just north
of the railroad tracks. It often is the cheapest gas in town, so it is very popular
and often very crowded. Also, it only has one-way traffic, coming from the
direction of the Avenida Colegio Militar entrance.
The Socoada station also has an area with free compressed air and water.
