Gas Station ads

I'm seen a few mini ads at Shell Gas Stations, has anyone else seen these or have a clue on maybe where to find one?

My local Exxon station has/had them a few weeks ago. Not sure if they still do.

Are they the word of the day ads? I saw them in Utah when I was visiting there at a random station.

I saw them at a BP or some such station near Northville, MI. I thought they were kind of tasteless* - mentioning that the MINI uses premium gas! With gas as expensive as it is nowadays, and even though premium has always been 20 cents more than regular, it doesn't help sell MINIs!!! Which is good for resale value, I suppose... less MINIs makes mine just a slight bit more valuable .



*My parents were shocked to find out I've been putting premium in my MINI...

My local Citgo gas stations have had the "MINI" pump ads for about 6 months or more.

They say something like, "Let's sip from premium" or some such phrase. I should try to ask the gas station owner for one when they are done, or just take a picture.
