I don't think double dipping will work. A local grocery chain (Giant) offers gas rewards (10 cents off/gallon for every 100 dollars spent) and you have to select either Shell Rewards or Giant Rewards before fueling up.

One of our local grocery stores partners with Sheetz to redeem gas rewards there. Sheetz has signs posted, encouraging those redeeming gas rewards to swipe the grocery card first, then also swipe their My Sheetz Card to maximize savings.

No Double Dipping
...so choose wisely (which for me means sticking with Dining Rewards and my targeted AA 1k bonus for each $250 of restaurant bills)
And because it appears you can't stack grocery (Kroger, Safeway, etc) cards and the Shell RN card, I think the Shell RN will be 1 and done. (Not to mention Shell is much more expensive than just about every other local place...)

I just received an e-mail for an extra $0.10 off with a partner transaction. There is no limit notated, so I would assume that $1 in the online mall or at a participating restaurant would count.
T&C
Offer only valid on your first qualifying purchase transaction. You will not earn the special 10˘/gal limited time offer on each additional purchase after the first qualifying purchase transaction but on the first qualifying purchase transaction that is made. For example, if your first qualifying purchase transaction is a $25 spend through the Dining program, you will be awarded the special 10˘/gal limited time offer for that qualifying Dining purchase transaction and would no longer be eligible to earn the special 10˘/gal limited offer for any additional qualifying Dining programs or on any other transactions through other FRN™ programs such as the Online Mall, Dining, eCoupons, Shell® Fuel Rewards® or Participant programs.
Offer only valid for those FRN™ Members who registered for an FRN™ Account through a gaming site like Farm Ville, Car Town, etc. or Spin to Save and who have a physical FRN™ Card linked to their account. Anyone who signed up for an FRN™ Account indicating that they would pick up an FRN™ Card later must have picked up an FRN™ Card and linked it to their FRN™ Account to qualify for the special 10˘/gal limited time offer.
Offer ends November 30, 2012. Qualifying purchase transaction must be made on or before 11:59:59 PM local time on November 30, 2012 to earn the 10˘/gal reward.

It works, but...
...not really worthwhile. Redeemed $0.50 / gal today (dining bonus + initial spin). A whopping $8.00 on $100 of purchases.
I plan to cash in on the $0.10 bonus (exp. 30 NOV), get the 2x bonus (exp. 31 DEC), and then leave the FRN card at home. There's only one place giving the 2x bonus in the entire DC Beltway, making it less than convenient.
Overall, FRN is lot of work for little return. Better to just find a cheaper place to get gas, even if it means driving around.

or
If you have Krogers around buy $50 shell giftcards that are always worth 2X kroger fuel points. shell will give you 10 cents a gal off if you enter your kroger card or kroger id (phone number) before the giftcard.
Shell is usually higher unless they are close to a major competitor, then they can be just as cheap as everyone else.

Our local Shell, which hadn't been a participating station now is. It's typically the same price as competitors, in a band of the lowest priced stations. FWIW, you save $0.03/gallon just for swiping your card, plus any discounts you have on the card additionally.

Managed to get $0.10.
Finally paying attention to this. My parents use Shell exclusively, so $0.03/gal is fine for them. I never use Shell around home, but I do sometimes when I'm traveling. I can swap the Shell FR card in for my normal Speedway/SuperAmerica loyalty card when I travel away from the Midwest and am renting a car.

Just picked up a card at local Shell station, even though it was not listed on the websites search for stations.
Finally got card registered.
3˘ off per gal this way;
But Smith's food & drug /Kroger offer up to $1 off/gal when you buy gift cards thru them. And yes, you can buy shell gift cards.
