Having a bit more trouble lately than usual in making ends meet? Unfortunately, this is only the start of things to come. Indicators include that the Rand and the US dollar are both in decline, oil is traded in the US dollar and the price of petrol in South Africa is steadily rising. I’m not sure if everyone knows this, but usually the weak rand and other market factors don’t affect the price of oil immediately, but usually 12 months later do we bare the brunt of bad markets. Oil is bought in futures, so this means that oil traders buy oil months in advance and trade in FUTURE values of barrels. the time the expensive oil hits us, it has been shipped from the supplier, stored in reserves, processed and stored again, and then distributed to consumers via petrol stations. The various negative factors such as the weak Rand, the war, weather anamolies, layoffs and so forth are going to hit us at the pump NEXT YEAR! Oil trading is standardized by using a single currency, and no surprise that the US dollar is chosen for this, as 49% of the world’s fuel consumption is made up of the USA. Now keep in mind that the US is only 1/24th of the worlds population, and you will start to see the economic power the US actually has, its not just talk, these guy mean business. Now, when the dollar weakens, it costs other countries less to buy Oil, so they try to trade higher volumes as quickly as possible, but this results in higher demand. And like all things in higher demand, the price is bound to go up. When one thinks about fuel and South Africa they often think of SASOL but SASOL accounts for less than 1/5th of the total South African fuel demand Caltex is the major supplier of South Africa’s petrol, and they distribute semi-refined oil to other petrol company’s refineries. There is difference in petrol from one company to the next but the core is the same Caltex oil. The different companies have different techniques and chemicals that they add to the petrol so that is why they can advertise as being different, or better, that one another. So with the new understanding of the oil industry in South Africa and of the problems it is facing one might ask what are the alternatives? The Prius from Toyota is an engine that is powered with hydrogen and we have had that for a decade. There is also a green-friendly engine that BMW has been working out the bugs on for some time now and which recently hit the roads. In fact, i can’t think of any major car company worth their salt NOT working on a greener engine for many years now. These things of course are not as easy as modifying your car to run on another fuel. One needs to look to individual pioneers and grassroots movements to find any real solutions.
