Here are four tips that will help you get the most from your Shell gas credit card and all of the gas credit cards in your wallet.
1. Understand the Perks
The biggest mistake you can make with your Shell gas credit card is to not fully understand the perks. Not all Shell credit cards are created equal. Some offer cash back on gas purchases while others dont, some will offer cash back on travel-related purchases and others wont.
If youre looking to get cash back on your gas purchases (which most consumers are nowadays) youll want the Shell MasterCard from Citi Cards. This card gets you 5-percent cash back on all of your gas purchases. The other Shell credit cards do not.
If you think 5-percent doesnt really add up to much, you might be surprised. I personally drive a Suburban. No, Im not an enemy of the environment… I have a large family and drive in areas where 4-wheel drive is necessary.
It takes me about $120 to fill up my tank right now, so my 5-percent rebate saves me about six bucks a tank. A full tank lasts me about 2 weeks. Over the course of a year, that 5-percent discount will save me more than $150.
2. More Than One
If you travel a lot, you might want to consider carrying more than one Shell gas credit card. If you carry the Shell MasterCard from Citi Cards and the Shell Select Member Card, you can use the MasterCard for your gas purchases, earning 5-percent cash back, and your Shell Select Member Card to book your hotel rooms, earning up to 10-percent cash back.
3. Dont Carry a Balance
All jokes about financing your gas purchases aside, you really dont want to carry a balance on your Shell gas credit card. As a general rule, gas credit cards hold a higher interest rate than other credit cards and the Shell gas credit card is no exception. Depending on which Shell gas credit card you opt for, you may pay anywhere from 16-percent to 23-percent interest if you carry a balance on the card.
4. Still Shop For The Bargains
Even if you do have a Shell gas credit card, make sure that you analyze gas prices before heading to the pump. Just because you have access to a Shell gas credit card doesnt mean you should buy your gas at the Shell gas station if you can get it cheaper elsewhere.
Lets say gas ABC Gas Station is across the street from Shell and is charging $3.00 a gallon for gas. Shell, on the other hand, is charging $3.19. Even with your 5-percent cash back discount (if youre using the Shell MasterCard) youd be better off getting the gas at the gas station across the street.
With gas prices at ridiculously high prices, smart consumers do everything they can to minimize their fuel costs. Not only is a Shell gas credit card convenient, allowing you to pay at the pump and easily manage your gas expenses, it can also save you quite a bit of money over the course of the year.

You are presented with an option to view the content of:
Book 1, which is the actual User Manual and explains step-by-step how to construct the Water4Gas kit
Book 2, which has additional information related to increasing gas mileage etc
Bonuses - too many to list, but there are tax guides, heaps of other stuff
So
Book 1 is about how to make a Water4Gas Kit. It contains 27 Chapters.
Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 are basically introductions and are dedicated to thanks to the contributors and general information and background of the Water4Gas technology. There were a couple of interesting things - it turns out BMW has a water-powered car!
Chapter 5 will tell you exactly what you need to make your Water4Gas Kit. I was pleasantly surprised - looks like the necessary parts can be bought for about $100 bucks. I cant give you exact components, but some of them are a special jar for the vaporizer, tubing and the catalyst component. There are some others, about 12 in total.
Looks like all the components can be bought in the stores near my house. Good
Moving on
Chapter 6 explains the benefits that you will realize once you install the Water4Gas kit. Saving an average of 35% on an average persons bill results in roughly $1,200 per annum average savings, so the investment into Water4Gas kit is recouped in about 4 months.
Chapter 7 - teaches you to install the electrolyzer, the critical part that actually produces hydrogen and cools down the engine. It covers all the mechanical details, how to connect it properly and necessary safety measures. This looks like the critical part.
Chapter 8 is about the installation of the Water4Gas vaporizer. It seems that vaporizer is not as difficult as the electrolyzer. One medium size jar of water should last around 1000-3000 miles depending on the car make.
Chapter 9 will show you an alternative setup - instead of using one hydrolizer, you have an option of installing multiple ones. Apparently, Ozzie had a system going with 6 hydrolizers. The benefit was an 18% increase in mileage.
Chapters 10 and 11 - will show how to install and maintain the PCV Enhancer, which basically is the modification of the one that already exists in your car.
Chapter 12 explains how to install the Water4Gas fuel heater - key take from this is not to use the everyday hose for it, but rather a specialized heavy duty connector.
Chapter 13 covers the installation of a MAP sensor enhancer and an oxygen sensor enhancer, and contains pretty good instructions on how to do that.
Chapter 14 is another critical piece, installation of the water charger. Its a proprietory formula and I dont think I can say too much about it, but its awesome, and it will give your mileage a real boost!

Waffles have been the comfort food in many a kitchen. A waffle is a flat batter cake cooked between two hot plates that are called a waffle iron. Belgian waffle irons provide deep pockets to catch the butter and syrup. There is nothing like a warm, buttery waffle swimming in syrup.
The waffle irons of old sat on a gas fired or wood stove. You had to heat both sides of the plate before you added the batter. It took practice and acquired skill to know when the iron was hot enough to pour your batter in. You also needed to know when to turn the iron as well as when to remove the waffle. Until non-stick surfaces, getting the waffles out of the waffle iron presented its own of set problems.
Waffle irons have come a long way since the days they were first used. Whether you prefer the regular pocket or the deeper Belgian waffle pocket you will have no shortage of choices of commercial waffle irons to choose from. There are many quality, affordable waffle irons on the market today.
With the Chef’s Choice Waffle Pro you can dial in how done you want your waffles whether you like them golden brown with a crisp exterior or a deep baked uniform texture this waffle iron can take care of it. Commercial waffle irons today also come with a non-stick surface making removal much easier than those first waffle irons.
With Waffle Exotica you are no longer limited to a round or square waffle. Waffle Exotica offers such fun shapes as hearts and your favorite cartoon characters. The Belgian Waffler and Multi-Baker, comes with a Belgian waffle iron and three other interchangeable plates a flat griddle and ribbed grill for vegetables, fish and meats.
