It is very likely, the crude oil price per barrel may get up to about
$120 to $140 by the mid or end of the summer. The reasons are many. This means that the price of fuel will most likely rise by at least another 20%. There are futures contracts out on crude oil for a price point of $200 per barrel by year 2010. The price of oil is rising faster than the normal rate of inflation. This will contribute to the cost of most everything we have. The rate of infation will be difficult to keep up with. One of the causes for all of this is from the massive out-sourcing of manufacturing in foreign countries to have lower labour cost, and from letting our society become more dependend on other countries for energy and materials. From all that is going on, North America and most of Europe will become a third world economy. We will no longer be able to afford to live at the standard of living that we are used to. It will take a very big change of attitude and the way of doing things to fix the problem.

This means that the price of fuel will most likely rise by at least another 20%. So why didn't the petrol price go up 700% since oil was $15 back in 1999? As you say, the reasons are many, but one thing is for sure, petrol prices have had very little in the way of linear correlation with oil price. Dave. |

Hey Dave you are already right there, depending on how you look at it. ($15/b * 700%)/100 = $105/b PS. Every one of you are being affected except me and the one I have chosen to help. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, P.E. | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASICK's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona Voice ![]() | | E-mail Address at Website Fax ![]() | http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | America: Land of the Freedom Abusers, Because of the Rat *******s. |

The popular price per barrel quoted in the news is the spot market price, and ignores the oil refined within vertically-integrated companies and oil delivered under long-term, fixed-price contracts. |

The oil within a vertically integrated company is worth as much as the price on the spot market because they have the option of refining it or selling it raw. The spot market is a good but nervous indicator of the price of oil. The long term contracts will all end some day and a new contract be written at the new higher price. The trend is smoothened by that effect but the average rate of increase is not reduced. |

Introducing large stocks into the open market will reduce the spot price. I don't think it really would or at least not by very much. If a vertically integrated company sells its crude oil into the market, it won't be refining it into finished products and selling those. Others will be making that finished product from the crude oil instead. The net effect won't be anything like putting new oil from a well onto the market. Long term contracts are set at a price point where both the buyer and seller think they will make money over the term of the contract. Yes and those predictions are based on the conditions at the time the contract is made. The next batch of contracts will be written in a very different environment. |

The average USian could cut his energy use in half without extreme distress. The main cause of the energy shortage is the fact that the Chinese, the Indians, the Africans, and the South Americans are increasing both population and per-capita energy use. Imagine if every family in India and every family in China had central heating and a car. We have something they don't: an enormous capacity to make food. John |

A very large percentage of that capability is due to the use of nitrogenous fertilizers, manufactured from natural or petroleum gas via the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia. The Chinese make more than a quarter of the world's production, but basically - guess what - the ability to store energy in your cereal crops and in your "biofuels", comes predominantly from below the ground, not from the sun. Without fossil fertilizer, 90% of the world's production of grain would cease. The fossil fuel crisis is first and foremost a *food* crisis, the cost of fuel for transport is just the leading edge. |

Well, just think about the negotiation sessions: "We have food. You have oil. Wanna do business?" John |

I don't see any logic either. If the Iraq is colonized, then why the oil is $101.11 ? What syntax? Should learn hispanic? VLV |
