DALLAS — At 10AM about 200 motorists crowded the Shell gas station near Mocking Bird station in Dallas this Thursday -all in line for free gas, thanks to an advertising campaign by Verizon Yellow Pages and Superpages.com.

People arrived as early as 12 hours to be sure they got a one of the 200 cards with the prepaid 40-dollar balance.

The giveaway was too important for people struggling with the rocketing prices of gas, some even stayed overnight to assure their place in line.

This promotion was one part of the 20 nationwide giveaways that also includes Grand Prairie.

As gas prices increase more and more of these promotional giveaways have been fueling advertisements through out the nation from: hotels.com offering 50-dollars, and car dealerships offering to pick free gas for a year with the purchase of a new car.

Political campaigns are also offering to give away discounted rates on gas while they pick up the difference out of pocket as a statement on how the economy has fluctuated in these past eight years. It is projected that gas prices will increase to more than four dollars by the end of the year, and with that said –we can only hope for more promotional free gas to fill up our pockets.
