Shell Offers Fuelman Cardholders Convenient Pay-at-the-Pump
Access 


HOUSTON, May 9  /PRNewswire/ -- Shell announced today that it will grant access
to Shell's proprietary payment processing network for customers who use the
Fuelman Fleet Card, offering pay-at-the-pump convenience to more than 3,500
Shell-branded retail outlets currently participating in the Fuelman program. 
As a result of the agreement, Fuelman cards now will be accepted at Shell
stations operated by multi-site operators.

Shell-branded retailers who elect to participate in the program will be
offering an added convenience to more than 1 million active Fuelman
cardholders.  The Fuelman card authorizes, controls and tracks fleet fueling
and maintenance purchases at thousands of locations in the United States.  The
card is a product of FleetCor, one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S.
commercial fleet card market serving more than 40,000 fleets.

"Shell's National Jobber Council identified Fuelman access as one of its top
priorities," said Hugh Cooley, Vice President and General Manager National
Wholesale.  "We listened to our wholesalers' concerns, and believe this is a
good opportunity to help them enhance volume and attract a more loyal customer
base.  We're opening up our network to the Fuelman card to strengthen our
commitment to helping our retailers and wholesalers develop their local fleet
business."

"Fuelman cardholders tend to be loyal customers at specific stations, and
purchase more store items than the average customer," said Bernie Davis,
Fuelman's National Merchant Director.  "The combination of the Fuelman fleet
card program with Shell's pay-at-the-pump convenience and its network of 13,000
gasoline stations provides fleet operators with an industry-leading solution to
control fuel and maintenance costs while enhancing convenience to drivers and
retailers."

While Shell Oil Products US will provide accessibility throughout its
proprietary payment processing network, each location must enter into its own
agreement with FleetCor to allow its customers to use the Fuelman card.  All
currently participating Shell-branded locations should obtain pay-at-the-pump
access for Fuelman cards by the end of June.
