Yes, I believe atrocities/war crimes are being committed.  I’ve seen videos of civilians being shot.  I’ve seen women killed in recent days on humanitarian missions.  That’s not even mentioning civilian buildings being hit with missile strikes. 

Not to mention land mines.  Here is a headline from the mirror.co.uk:

"Land mines found on Ukraine escape routes that lead to Russia and Belarus."

The US is stepping up it's sanctions against Russia by eliminating the import of Russian oil. 

I don't even care if this helps me at the pump, but I'm glad to feel like we're funding the war against Ukraine a whole lot less.

Oil up to $127, I’m hoping it holds below $130, certainly $150.

I hope so.  Other than Canada and maybe Mexico I don't see any reason to buy oil from anyone else.

I don't fill up very often so my Kroger fuel points really help but I have heard that from several people on Costco.

$3.75 to $4 seems like a psychological victory.

McDonald's says it is temporarily closing 850 restaurants in Russia in response to the Ukraine invasion.  The fog of war.

The Costco I go to is usually always 30-40 cents cheaper than all other stations in our area.

I hear you. The way I see it is I'm going to buy gas regardless, so the price is really irrelevant. But I'll still save $5 per fill up getting it from there.

The EU, which gets 40% of its gas and 27% of its oil from Russia, said it will eliminate two thirds of its Russian gas purchases by the end of the year. The EU also said it will end all Russian oil and gas purchases well before 2030.
