Shell (RDSA) said Tuesday it was breaking completely with Russia's giant energy industry, halting all purchases of Russian crude oil immediately and shutting its service stations in the country.

The UK-based company, which last week announced it was dumping its investments in Russia, said its decision to abandon all trade in Russian fossils fuels was "aligned with new government guidance."

Russia's vast energy exports have so far been carved out of the unprecedented sanctions imposed by the West in response to President Vladimir Putin's decision to order his troops to invade Ukraine.

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.

11. I just sent Shell Corporate an Email

saying they bought a shitload of oil just recently and then turned around and made this decision. A day late/dollar short. Told them I will never buy another gallon of Shell gas. Didn't even bring up their obscene profits and that they are using this crisis to make even MORE money. They suck.

3. 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.
