Shell is Selling Gas at 39.9 cents per Litre in Alberta
Eight Shell gas stations across Alberta are selling gas at the price it was in 1984 to celebrate 30 years of the company refining petroleum in that province.
The company was revealing the locations of the stations via twitter. The low price is only available for one hour at each location and customers will have to brave long lineups in order to benefit.
Here are some tweets from @Shell_Canada:

With @Shell_Canada selling gas for $0.39/L in #yeg, #yyc and #fortsask today, worth noting $0.21/L is tax. Shell only gets $0.18/L. 54% tax.

Not all were positive about the campaign:
Today's Shell gas station deal asks the question: How long are you willing to wait to save $25?
