If you are in South Africa and you are having a bigger problem lately making ends meet, you are not alone. Unfortunately, this is only the start of things to come. The price of oil is rocketing, the strength of the dollar (in which oil is traded) is declining. Oh, and don’t forget the strength of the Rand is also on the down at the moment. This in turn is having a knock on effect on the price of petrol in SA. 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. This is also a result of the fact that oil is purchased in futures. There is a whole series of actions over roughly a six to twelve month period between the expensive oil getting shipped by the supplier from the field and then getting. 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 The major provider of petrol to South Africa, then, is Caltex and they are distributing semi-refined oil to the refineries of other companies. Each product is slightly different, but the core of the petrol is exactly the same. 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? Toyota has had a hydrogen powered engine for more than a decade in the Prius. 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. Pretty much every major manufacturer has some activity going forward to make vehicles which run on something other than fossil fuels or in a hybrid with fossil fuels. These things of course are not as easy as modifying your car to run on another fuel. If one is serious about getting better MPG, driving a car that doesn’t pollute the planet and having a car that runs even better than it did when it left the shop in many cases one has to forget the corporations and look towards pioneering individuals and movements at the grassroots level.
