I thought about getting a Shell card which gets 5% cash back but I'm not sure yet. I get all my gas at shell and it's usually 120-150/month

The problem with this is that you'll tend to purchase at Shell more even if their prices are higher (which is why they want you to get their CC). Depending on where you live you're usually better off foregoing the Shell card and gas station and looking for less expensive gas elsewhere and then getting cash back on that purchase.
I recently drove by two stations adjacent to one another, Chevron and Shell, and for some reason the Chevron was 9 cents per gallon more than Shell yet there was someone filling up at the Chevron. My guess is either he had a Chevron CC, he had a government or corporate Chevron CC, or he was just oblivious.
