$1 to fill your tank

HK Shell gas stations in conjunction with Citibank Platinum card is doing a promote. Fill 300HK gas or a 4L 10W30 oil, you may get a chance to win big. If your last 4-digit of the receipt is "1111", you can get a free tank of gas. If you have "111", then you pay only 1HK for a full tank of gas. Shell's reason: to help the locals during the financial economic downturn. Good PR work considering all those profits from years past.
