Shell Gas Station really wants customer to try their Car Wash

With electronic boards, gas station can change fuel prices at anytime. This particular Shell Gas Station has some interesting pricing strategy, and this is not the first time I spotted the pricing.

Unleaded Fuel Pricing with & without car wash.

$7.119/gallon of regular unleaded fuel which is more expensive than its “Plus” & “Premium” counterparts. But if customers also pay for car wash, the price is 5.749/gallon of regular unleaded fuel.

Anker Air Vent Magnetic Car Mount

I bought an Anker Air Vent Magnetic Car Mount from Amazon.com. It works well with an iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 7 Plus. I have only been using it for one day, so there is no need to pretend to know a lot about this product yet.

I prefer using the turn-by-turn direction on the phone than the built-in car navigation system. Mounting the phone by the air vent certainly is certainly better than mounting it on the windshield.

One Hot Day in May 2014

When the traffic was completely at full stop, I snapped a photo. It said 105°F.
