There are services that the Portuguese are not used to paying for. One of them is the air supply that is normally available at gas stations. But there is a gas station that charges €1 for every 5 minutes of air.
Does the Shell gas station in Seixal charge customers one euro to use the air and water service for five minutes? The SIC Polygraph has already analyzed the case and responded, as there was already a message circulating on the internet video about the subject.
As the author of the video said… “I hadn’t seen one of these yet, but they are already charging for water and air”.
In 2021, a similar situation had already been reported through a photograph placed on a Publication shared on Reddit, according to NiT.
An official source from the Shell do Seixal space confirms that “[o cliente] puts money in and the machine provides the service for which he put in the money.”
I went to see if the tires needed air, to see if I could save fuel.

It is also mentioned that the establishment opened in 2021 and that the service has always been sold in this way. “It was implemented from scratch. Within our group, three machines were installed when this station opened.” However, it is also highlighted that such a service is not paid for at all Shell pumps.
