Mexico gets first non-Pemex gas station in almost 8 decades

Hidrosina opened a re-branded Pemex gas station on one of the main avenues in Mexico City, Tuesday, June 7, 2016. Mexico's ubiquitous Pemex gas stations now have competition along the country's highways and city streets for the first time in nearly eight decades. Two companies have collectively opened three gas stations under their own brands, breaking one of the state-owned petroleum company's last monopolies. Opening the retail sector to competition was part of energy reforms passed in 2014. (AP Photo/Eduardo Verdugo) (The Associated Press)
