About Shell
Shell-branded fuel is available across Australia through a large retail network operated by Viva Energy, including Shell, Shell Reddy Express, remaining Coles Express sites, OTR and independently operated Shell service stations. Sites commonly offer Shell fuel grades such as V-Power 98, Unleaded 95, Unleaded 91, E10, diesel, V-Power Diesel, AdBlue and AutoGas where available. Convenience offerings vary by location, with many sites providing coffee, food, convenience shopping, car washes, toilets and 24-hour access, while selected highway and truck-friendly locations offer high-flow diesel, hot meals, showers, bathrooms and driver facilities. In Australia, Shell customers generally use Flybuys and Coles fuel docket offers rather than Shell GO+, with eligible Shell Reddy Express and Coles Express purchases earning Flybuys points and selected offers providing cents-per-litre discounts or bonus points. A strong national option for Australian motorists who want recognised fuel, broad coverage and Flybuys-linked savings.
