“Energy giant Shell said Tuesday that it will stop buying Russian oil and natural gas and shut down its service stations, aviation fuels and other operations in the country amid international pressure for companies to sever ties over the invasion of Ukraine,” the AP reports.

1. Good. I always buy gas at the Shell station and this is the principled thing to do.

It's going to cost more, but I'd rather pay more for a gallon of gas than contribute to the slaughter of innocent civilians. Other oil companies should follow suit . . . today.

Shell defends decision to buy discounted oil from Russia

Oil major Shell has sought to defend its decision to buy a heavily-discounted consignment of oil from Russia, saying it would commit the profits to a fund dedicated to humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

On Friday, Shell purchased 100,000 metric tons of flagship Urals crude from Russia. It was reportedly bought at a record discount, with many firms shunning Russian oil due to Moscow’s unprovoked invasion of its neighbor. The purchase did not violate any Western sanctions.

Shell said in a statement late Saturday that it had been in “intense talks with governments and continue to follow their guidance around this issue of security of supply, and are acutely aware we have to navigate this dilemma with the utmost care.”

“We didn’t take this decision lightly and we understand the strength of feeling around it,” the statement read.

3. As I posted elsewhere

Good! I just got a Shell card. -30/gallon until June
With the card. 5-15¢ just using my ID.

Also, buying gift cards at Kroger (2X gas points) and then I pay with that card getting more gas points for the purchase. You can use Kroger points at Shell stations too.

I but maybe $30 in gas a month anyway.
