Been checking gas price websites so far none are showing that price, those getting that price good for you.

Complete *bleep* show from what I've heard.

They were only offering it 8 stores in Alberta total. They didn't tell you what stores and were only doing it for an hour.

Once they hit, people would use social media and the radio to get the word out... so you had HUNDREDS of people rushing to the 1 gas station in their city to fill out. It caused traffic issues and was confusing people on the road.

Then, apparently once you got to the pumps... it was only one pump and not the entire station. Most people didn't know this, so they waited in line at the wrong pump, only to find regular prices.

Hilarious... unless of course you were one of the suckers looking to save a few bucks!

I believe it's only in Edmonton and there are eight Shell stations participating, from the sounds of it though they are randomly rotating which station has that price.

Considering we are talking the petroleum industry that's not too hard to believe, though to my thinking if they are displaying the price to be 39.9 as is shown in the picture, then it should be deemed false advertising if in fact they are only doing it at one pump.

Exactly, since the sign reads unleaded .399 should mean all unleaded pumps are that price. Wondering if this will actually backfire at Shell, I guess the PR department may have a job to do.

Poor fools who ended up having to pay $1.11... hey wait a minute...

One thing a person should ponder before jumping into their car to drive 50 km to save money on gas is, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

An oil company that is in the business of making money is not going to just hand out gas willy-nilly at a substantial loss to everyone that comes along.

Another thing to remember is that there's a sucker born every minute, and generally, these are the same people who never ponder the quote above.

*removed* The promotion wasn't JUST in Edmonton, it was in Edmonton, Calgary, and Fort Saskatchewan. When that station's turn was up, ALL...and I repeat ALLLLLLLL Pumps were 39.9/L. Trust me, I know. I filled my Chevy 3500 up from empty for $40.00
*removed*

Hmm I wouldn't waste my time, hour wait all day at least I would say. Missing an hour of work makes up the difference in the little gas promo they had goin on...hey if you have the time and were in the right place at the right time awesome. I'm content with Edmonton gas prices for the most part anyhow.
