A group of Honda dealerships in Southern California plans to honor service members by giving out gas to drivers with a valid ID that verifies their active duty or veteran status.
The act is part of “Helpful Honda”, which partnered with local gas stations to provide US$15,000 worth of gasoline to military personnel, CBS News reported.
However, it’s not just military personnel who can claim free fuel.
If you drive a Honda in the area, you could be one of the first 100 drivers surprised by free gas.

The campaign started yesterday, May 23rd, but will continue until May 27th.
Yesterday drivers received free gas in Burbank from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Today, Culver City drivers can look for Honda workers in light blue polo shirts at the pumps wearing masks from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The last California city to pump for free will be Huntington Beach from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The exact locations of gas stations were not provided, leaving drivers on a wild goose chase to find places that pump for free.
The group of resellers announced the initiative on their Instagram (@socalhondadealers), encouraging drivers to look for uniformed workers at pumps.
“We are giving away free gas to the first 100 Honda drivers, veterans or active military personnel who show up in Burbank starting at 8 a.m.,” read the publish.
“Let us know in the comments if you see us! First come, first help!”
The post had more than 300 likes and almost 40 comments, all from drivers who were treated on Friday.
One driver thanked the group for helping during a difficult time.
