Hollywood stars Keke Palmer and LaKeith Stanfield fill up gas tanks at LA station — and it’s all free
- Hollywood stars Keke Palmer and LaKeith Stanfield staged a high-profile free gas stunt at a West Pico Shell, drawing attention to their film and drawing crowds from early morning.
- The event targeted the first 70 cars for free fills, with a cap of up to $100 per car, but chaos and delays followed as crowds swelled beyond expectations.
- The stunt was part of promoting the film I Love Boosters, with Palmer signaling a coordinated promotional effort on social media.
- The California setting amplified interest due to persistently elevated gas prices, fueling public attention to the giveaway.
- The reference article notes traffic chaos, with lines, blocked sidewalks, and disrupted lanes as fans waited for the gas, leading to police intervention.
- Witnesses described the event as chaotic with some attendees arriving as early as 1 a.m. and not all participants receiving gas or compensation as promised.
- Palmer later posted an Instagram video criticizing California gas prices, aligning the stunt with broader concerns about affordability.
- LaKeith Stanfield commented on the value of free gas amid high costs, underscoring the stunt’s relevance to everyday Californians.
- The promotional effort was tied to Triple Play Studios’ tie-in with the film, which executives described as a strategy to give back during tough economic times.
- Statewide gas averages and price concerns were highlighted, with Shell’s price around $6.09 per gallon at the station and $6.15 statewide per AAA data cited in the report.
- The new reference confirms that while 70 cars were promised free gas, the event delivered gas to about 60 cars, with some attendees receiving gift cards instead.
