Just arrived PC yesterday. As I went to pick up car couldn't believe my eyes -- SHELL GASOLINE STATION! Was told it opened about 3 months ago. Wow - between Supermercado Nacional and now a Gas Station! Someone has pushed many buttons (Ranieri?) -- very happy. Only wish weather was a bit better - a bit on the cool side.

Shell here isn't the Royal Dutch Shell you think of. All the stations in the DR were sold to a fuel outfit based in (I think) Barbados.

The name is from a licensing agreement.

Look at Bright Side

do not get to enthusiastic, they will run out in 3 days,,,,,,,,,,,,,and back to sq 1

mufc

Really - runout in 3 days -- has it happened yet? Have you been there personally? I guess you don't get the clear meaning of this place opening to people living in PC. Hopefully no more driving to Veron through bumpy roads etc etc. It is positive - look at it THAT way.

Bumpy Roads up to Veron???
You don't really know anything about the Area/Roads or whatsoever??
those Roads are actually in the best shape ever, I hit more bumps in my year driving around the US and the same in Europe.
and Yes, Air is cool now in PC, as usual for our wintermonths Dec/Jan/Feb.
right now it is even warmer than it was last week, that was COLD, lol.
at least we have sunny Days and the wind is below it usual 10-15mphr Average for this time of the Year.
did ya ask when Your New Shell Gas Station will open a Gas Station Shop at the Station?
the room is still empty, service is very slow, the guy who washed my windshield made it "Dirty".
next Time I will sweep Veron again for Gas, a stop at La Recta, a Stop at the Butcher, Stop at the Gas Station and a Fria to go for the Ride back Home to Cabeza de Toro, much more Fun and better Service.

Happy Hollies

Like the two other main petrol stations in the area (Cruce de Ver?n and Friusa) it's cash only. They're all owned by the Cacique of the east, Senator Amable Aristy Castro.

The Ver?n road has been paved; the only bumps are the speed bumps by the Police station and the health clinic.

Heya Chiri,
getting the Pork ready?

the Shell's are owned by Sen. Amable Aristy castro,
the Texaco Station in Friusa is owned by the Friusa Company, at least they opened it years ago, should still own it.
at the Veron Station I paid 400 Gallons of Diesel 2 weeks ago with a Debit Card from Banco de Leon. I know their System been not available for a while, but actually You can use Your CC again, until the next "failures" of course, lol.

Merry X-mas

No Hypocrite Here

Please - look up what hypocrite means. I don't think you understand college level (kindergarten level?) English!!!! I was not complaining at all - I just came down from NY Mr Smarty! I was freezing like all of us have been in NY recently. Do you know what a complaint is? I was saying basically that it is simply not too hot here - do you get that? So no more insults from Tamborista - ok?

I know alot about the "old" roads to Veron. There has been teriffic improvement - you are right - but the new road from PC which cuts out going through Veron etc is excellent!
