Mercenaries 2 is coming out for the PC platform on September 4 and publisher Electronic Arts is doing an interesting promotion for the Pandemic developed open world action game. Today they are giving away free gasoline at a gas station at 8489 Beverly Blvd. in Los Angeles.

Of course, the setting for Mercenaries 2 is in the oil-rich country of Venezuela so giving out free gas is a perfect way to make people aware of the game. As you can see from the photos the gas station is full of signage for the game along with actors dressed as the mercs from the game. If you want to see a live feed from the station, Break.com has you covered.
