There’s an App

Shell Motorist is a nice little driving companion app available for free in North America on the iPhone and Android markets.  The app is very easy to use and includes a one-touch ‘Nearest Shell Station’ button.

The app features a route planner, which shows Shell stations along your desired path.  Each of these stations, from the locator and the route planner, can be filtered based on what type of fuel you need, and what other services are available

There is also a ‘Vehicle Reminders’ section available, which helps to calculate cost when planning a route. As a Bonus, it let me pretend I drove a Rolls Royce Phantom, which succeeded in boosting my ego slightly.

My only complaint with the app is that the ‘Highlights’ were a little out of date.  I’m not really looking for winter driving tips at the moment.

If you’re a Shell customer, or just need a simple app to find a nearby gas station, give Shell Motorist a try.

If you’re a regular to another gas station, there are similar apps available for Esso, Chevron, and Petro-Canada.
