Boycotting Shell in Hawaii isn't going to do much to Royal Dutch Shell, the company that bought the Russian oil to prevent diesel fuel shortages in Europe.
You might put your neighbor out of work though.
Here is the company that owns the Shell branded stations in Hawaii :
Aloha Petroleum, Ltd. is one of the largest gasoline marketers and convenience store operators in Hawaii, with a history that dates back to the early 1900s. Aloha employs more than 800 Hawaii residents and markets through approximately 100 Shell, Aloha, and Mahalo branded fueling stations and 50 Aloha Island Marts, four Menehune Food Marts, three Subways, and four Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants throughout the state In 2014, Aloha was acquired by Sunoco. In 2016 Aloha was awarded the exclusive Dunkin' Donuts franchise for the state of Hawaii.

The truth isn’t hard to take.
But the stupidity starts to grate on the nerves after awhile.

Who owns Paul’s? I just got about 35 gallons ethanol free at $4.80. Seemed like a good deal when the national average for regular is now $4.10. Everything topped up, if we are careful wife’s car will still have a full tank when the price comes down again. I suspect when the new prices shake through we will be paying $5+ for a while.

Lol I know… but Is he a secret asset working for the Russians? The Europeans didn’t stop buying Russian fossil fuels but it is our Kuleana on this small pacific island to make sure we are doing our part by boycotting local businesses, anywhere that sells vodka and certainly any people who have ever eaten borscht.

Possible. The Russians had a toehold on Kauai 200 year’s ago, had hoped to turn King Kaumualii against Kamehameha. They were accused of being spies and driven back to Mother Russia, but who knows? Maybe they left someone behind, biding his time, passing the plan on from father to son for generations, waiting, this time starting the coup on the other side of the island chain in East Hawaii to throw us off track. Even changing their names along the way from Pavel to Paul.
