Via HispanicTips: is this for real? I guess he’s riding the fame of Daddy Yankee’s Gasolina.
Bimbo, already a huge star in his native Puerto Rico, is instigating the greatest gas giveaway in American history! The novel new campaign is fueled by Bimbo’s smash hit single, “Fill Up My Gas Tank” (”Fuleteame El Tanque”) — currently #2 on R&R’s Latin Club Charts — and its controversial music video: a biting satire in which George W. Bush, Saddam Hussein, Condoleezza Rice and Osama bin Laden are portrayed as greedy strippers, collectively responsible for raising the price of gas.
…At each gas station giveaway, Bimbo gives a blistering performance of his newest hit, while his Freedom Girls are on hand pumping the gas. Bimbo has already helped struggling motorists by giving away thousands of dollars in free gasoline, at gas station events in Lower Manhattan, Washington, D.C. and in the heart of the Bronx…
I wonder who’s idea this was…Oh, it was these people. If nothing else, a timely marketing ploy!

Fuletear? We never fuletamos the tank! Nosotros fuleamos el tanque en Puerto Rico, que no es lo mismo. Decir fuletear el tanque es decir disparar el tanque de gasolina. Y eso es bien peligroso!
