The Shell V-Power(R) "Fuel My Passion" Contest Gives Drivers Who Love Their Ride a Chance to Win Shell V-Power(R) Premium Fuel for Five Years!


CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - April 14, 2011) - Are you one of those people who takes pride in your car's shiny finish after an ultimate car wash, loves the sound of your engine after a tune-up or drives down the main drag to show-off your ride? Shell appreciates drivers who love their ride and wants to give them a place to brag about it. Now, consumers can participate in the second annual Shell V-Power® "Fuel My Passion" Contest for a chance to win great prizes like the Grand Prize of Shell V-Power® Premium Fuel for five years!

As the Grand Prize winner of last year's Shell V-Power® "Fuel My Passion" Contest, Darci Paice-Bailey from Prince George, B.C. knows that feeling. In fact, even her two boys pitch in to wash the "Blue Bomber", their nickname for their family Chrysler PT Cruiser, which they proudly show off on road trips and visits to the hockey rink. And as the Grand Prize winner, Shell is fuelling Darci's passion for her ride. "We're thankful to Shell every time we fuel up the Blue Bomber," says Darci. "We also get our AIR MILES®* reward miles when filling-up at Shell, so it's like an extra bonus!"

Participating in the Shell V-Power® "Fuel My Passion" Contest is simple – now through June 22, drivers who are passionate and take pride in their ride can visit www.shell.ca/fuelmypassion to upload a photo of themselves showing the "Power of the V" sign alongside their favourite ride (one entry per person). Eligible entrants will have a chance to win one of the following prizes:

  • Grand Prize: One favourite entry among the entrants will be decided by public vote and will win Shell V-Power® Premium Fuel for five years.
  • Secondary Prize: One lucky entrant will be randomly drawn to win Shell V-Power® Premium Fuel for one year.
  • Daily Prizes: Every day during the contest period, one daily prize winner will be randomly selected to receive $50 in Shell V-Power® Premium Fuel – so the earlier you enter, the more chances you have to win.

The Grand Prize winner will be decided by public vote, so entrants are encouraged to share their contest entry with friends to obtain additional votes.

Whether a premium vehicle owner, general auto enthusiast or motorcyclist, consumers can expect optimum performance from Shell V-Power® Premium Fuels, our most advanced fuels that actively shield and protect critical engine parts while cleaning engine gunk.
