In our limited experience traveling in Mexico we found things to be much like travel in the U.S. and Canada. Some differences would be to NOT travel in rural areas at night. The reason is cattle. There are no fences to keep them off the road.
Just do what you'd do in any U.S. cities: Watch where you are and who is around you. We had no trouble the few days we were in Puerto Penasco (located at the very top of the Gulf of California). We have had several friends spend weeks down in that area and had nothing but great things to say about their stay. Fueling stations are State owned. We experienced no problems with them. We ate food prepared at various restaurants and found them to be the same as any good restaurant.
There are certain areas I'd avoid completely: Juarez, Tiajuana, Mexicali. These are apparently the target areas for the drug dealers and much of the violence.
Enjoy and keep the Forum informed of what you experience in your travels.
