Shell fuel offer causes jams
By Shuli Sudderuddin
FROM 10am to 6pm on Saturday, thousands of motorists and commuters were stuck in jams islandwide due to a Shell fuel promotion.
Its biggest promotion in a decade, Shell offered its new Shell FuelSave 95 and 98 at a special price of only $1 per litre.
This is down from the usual price of $1.90 per litre for FuelSave 98 and $1.767 per litre for FuelSave 95.
FuelSave is touted to help motorists save up to one litre of fuel per tank.
While many motorists were happy about the promotion, the long queues formed by them slowed traffic down.
A spokesman for SBS Transit said that buses plying linear bus stops which have to stop along the road were badly affected.
