I love watching these people with their gas prices. It's between work and home everyday so I watch closely. They are situated across the street from Exxon, who usually have better prices.
On Thursdays, Shell marks down the price of gas 5 cents. Sounds great huh? Well when you watch closely, you'll see their price increase Wednesday, 1 or 2 cents, while Exxon stays the same. Then Thursday it reflects a 5 cent discount, same price as Exxon, but then Friday, they only raise it 2 or 3 cents higher than Thursdays' price, so you never truly get 5 cents off. Friday's price is still higher than Exxon's.
Where's the discount Shell??
Is it a huge deal? no, but why the games? It happens every single week! read more
