In Mexico gas only costs about $2.60 to $2.90 a gallon. But their minimum wage is about $5.00 dollars a day. Seems like maybe it isn't all that bad here or I'm just dumber than dumb like one famous MMer said.
"daily minimum wages set anually by law and determined by zone; 51 Mexican pesos in Zona A (Baja California, Federal District, State of Mexico, and large cities), 49 pesos in Zone B (Sonora, Nuevo Le?n, Tamaulipas, Veracruz, and Jalisco), and 48 pesos in Zone C (all other states)[4]"
The peso converts about 10.12 to the dollar or did a week ago when I was there.
