The post today subject headed as above contains a significant error.<BR>
<BR>
The statement below from this web site should read "...as sales rose to 221.3 billion pesos ($20.5 billion),...." not ($20.5 million)<BR>

This is the exact quote below from this web site, but they made the error, which I discovered, as it is simple math that 221.3 billion pesos is not equal to $20.5 million dollars but rather $20.5 billion.<BR>
<BR>
"Pemex, 100 percent state owned and the government's main cash cow, reported a quarterly net profit of 1.9 billion pesos ($200 million) on Tuesday as sales rose to 221.3 billion pesos ($20.5 million), up 14 percent on the year."<BR>
