Why is gas cheaper in the United States compared to Mexico?

On average, gas prices in Mexico are higher than in the United States. This is largely due to factors like fuel imports, limited refining capacity, and added logistics costs. While the U.S. produces and refines much of its own fuel, Mexico relies heavily on imports - mostly from the U.S. - which drives up prices. Taxes and subsidies also play a role, but once those are factored out, the underlying price of fuel is often quite similar between the two countries.
