Make a Run for the Border (for Cheap Gas)

People from the U.S. are heading to the Mexico side of the border. No there isn't a reverse immigration crisis (although the thought makes me laugh), rather they are crossing the border for the a cheap fix of the current drug of choice, gas.
Mexican service stations all along the border report brisk sales in recent weeks as fuel prices in Texas continue to climb. Even Ciudad Juárez has seen a notable increase in customers from the United States, despite escalating drug violence that includes gunbattles in the streets and several decapitations.
Ah, the lengths that people will go to to save some pesos at the pump, even facing scary Mexicans!!!!
