Rafael,
Premium gas will definitely help you out, but the altitude in Mexico City is also affecting your mileage. Unless, of course, the on-board computer automatically adjusts timing to address oxygen flow (or lack there of). I leave that to the experts to confirm. I was stationed in Denver a few years back and and my van (pre-on-board computer)ran like a dog until the timing was adjusted to compensate for the change in altitude (sea level to 5,280ft).

The PCM does take into account barometic pressure so elevation would be taken into consideration.
