HOUSTON -- Shell Oil Products US has rolled out FuelStretch, a new program being offered at its gas stations nationwide. It offers motorists money-saving driving tips, a credit card that helps drivers earn gasoline rebates on every purchase and fuels that are specially formulated to help keep engines clean.
To promote how effective Shell thinks the FuelStretch principles can be at stretching every fillup, a husband and wife driving team are putting the vehicle maintenance and driving tips to the test as they travel around the world to set a Guinness [image-nocss] World Record for Fuel Efficiency. John and Helen Taylor have traveled through 14 European countries, five Asian countries and Australia thus far and have successfully logged approximately 12,300 miles on only 15 tanks of gasoline. As the Taylors end their Australian leg, they are averaging approximately 56 miles per gallon. View their progress at www.fuelchallenge.com.
We hope the Taylor's upcoming visit to the U.S. demonstrates that whether you're attempting to set a Guinness World Record or just running errands around town, incorporating Shell FuelStretch principles is a simple way to be more fuel efficient, said Dan Little, Shell U.S. fuels marketing manager.
FuelStretch tips are available at Shell stations nationwide and online at www.shell.com/us/fuelstretch. The interactive website features 10 fuel-saving driving tips, a FuelStretch Challenge where visitors can take a test and find out their fuel efficiency rating and The FuelStretch Game where virtual drivers are challenged to see how far they can go on a single tank. The site also includes information on the 5% rebate cardholders earn on every Shell gasoline purchase made with the Shell Platinum MasterCard from Citi Cards
Houston-based Shell Oil Products US, a subsidiary of Shell Oil Co., has a network of approximately 6,600 branded stations in the western United States.
