  Long queues were seen forming outside Shell Petrol stations islandwide this afternoon.

  All thanks to a National Day promotion by the company which saw discounts of 44 cents per litre of fuel between 4 and 5pm.

  At the petrol station along Lornie Road, for instance, more than 30 cars were spotted in the queue.

  Car owners were notified of the deal via SMS.

  "It's a very good offer. Because now the petrol price is so expensive. I think they should do it more frequent. I saved at least eight to ten dollars."
  "I think it's good, but they probably should have it longer, so you don't get a long queue out there."

  Imagine seeing lots of Porsches or Lambos queuing up to save 44 cents a litre.

  It would be good if I can buy a tanker, pump in full of petrol and park it outside my house.
