I found that terms were interpreted differently at different stations.
I only got in on this in Aug-Sep, after the promo had officially ended
(since I don't live in SoCal), but I found a few places that still had
them in stock.  At one, it was as Scott writes below -- with my fill-up,
I could buy as many small sets at $1.19 as I wanted.  At another station,
however, the attendent would only let me have ONE at $1.19 with fill-up,
and any more at $1.69.  I stocked up anyway...:)  So, there will probably
be some variation, depending on who is manning the desk.

The previous So Cal promotion did not require minimum purchase, however the
price varried. The small sets were $1.99 regular price, and $1.19 with minimum
purchase of $8. They did not limit the number of $1.19 sets you could
purchase, so if you filled your tank with gas, you could then purchase all ten
sets at the discounted price. I don't know about the larger sets as I never
saw them in any of the Shell stations I visited, and it is not for lack of
looking.

I checked out shelloil.com, I could not find any info on Lego while at the
site. I did find out there are over 9000 Shell stations in the US.

How did the promotion work in S.Cal? Was there a min purchase requirement?
