High Gas Prices Truly Cut Dependence on Foreign Oil
It’s a 58-page doorstop, but a new study from the Congressional Budget Office shows consumer response to higher gas prices. The study began looking at trends beginning in 2003. Here are its key findings:
Freeway drivers are making fewer trips and are driving more slowly. For every 50-cent increase in gas, there was a .7 percent decrease in the number of trips taken. Median speeds dropped by a nominal three-quarters of a mile per hour for every 50-cent increase. And in areas where rail transit is offered, ridership is up.
Though market share for light trucks, including SUVs and minivans, has increased steadily for 20 years, it began to decline in 2004. As a result, the average fuel economy of new vehicles has increased by more than a half-mile per gallon since 2004.
Used vehicle prices have shifted. Fuel-efficient cars have seen their prices climb, while gas guzzlers have seen ther prices drop.
What’s noteworthy is that these trends are less dramatic than one would expect. The study found, however, that over a longer period of time, the trends will become more dramatic as consumers make purchase decisions about their cars and about where they live with high gas prices in mind.

petroleum is a mixture of a very large number of different hydrocarbons ; the most commonly found molecules are alkanes (linear or branched), cycloalkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, or more complicated chemicals like asphaltenes. Each petroleum variety has a unique mix of molecules, which define its physical and chemical properties, like color and viscosity.

Nigeria Goverment and Norway Deal Oil and Gas Exploration (Gas Flaring, Oil Spill)
This is coming on the heels of an agreement signed by the Federal Government and the Kingdom of Norway on how the latter could assist the country to check oil spills and reduce gas flaring.
President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua had late last year announced the new Gas Flare-out date following the inability of oil companies to meet the January 1, 2008 deadline earlier agreed.
The two countries met in Abuja last October 29 to discuss issues affecting their petroleum sectors under the Memorandum of Understa-nding (MoU) on Development and Co-operation in Oil and Gas Related Industries signed by both countries in 2000.
Minister of State for Petroleum, Mr. Odein Ajumogobia, SAN, who led other top government officials to the meeting, had solicited the support of Norway on the possibility of trapping and storing carbon dioxide from oil production, power plants and industrial operations as part of measures to protect Nigerian environment.
The minister had also canvassed more information on trapping and storing of the greenhouse gas, based on Norway’s experience.
In a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting obtained by THISDAY, it was agreed that Norway would assist Nigeria in its aspiration to reduce gas flaring. It was further agreed that the Norwegian Government would assist Nigeria in developing oil spill monitoring and environmental regulations as well as to develop competencies and capacities in environmental impact assessment analysis.

$100 a Barrel Oil - Revisited
The price of oil topped $100 on January 2 and again on January 3. During these past two days I have received emails and phone calls from regular readers, complimenting me on my correct prediction. As I wrote here more than two months ago, the price of oil would not only cross the $100 price barrier, but would trade in the $80-125 range for the next year.
A year ago, on the syndicated program “First Business”, when oil was trading in the $50-55 range, I predicted that oil would go over $80 during 2007, which, at the time was a contrary view, as oil had been down trending for several weeks at that point.
As a futurist, it is my job to look into the future and try to discern what might happen in the months, years and decades ahead. I look at patterns and large dynamics that translate into macro trends that then translate into specific developments. It is an odd sensation, but whenever any of what I have predicted becomes reality, it feels as though I have already experienced it. When oil crossed the $100 price barrier these past few days, it was as though I had already experienced that. My reaction? Of course it went over $100 a barrel, what’s the big deal?
The long term trend in oil and gas prices is ever upward. I do think that the trading range for oil for the next year at least will be $80-125. There are few if any situations I can see where the price could fall below $80. However there are some situations that could take the price up over $125. The rebel uprising in Nigeria, which was the cause for the breaking of the price barrier, is just an example. What if there was a successful terrorist attack on a major oil pipeline in the Middle East? What if Mexico or Russia, or Canada, all major exporters of oil decided to export less as internal market demands forced them to keep more of the output for their own countries? That is already occurring in Iran.
What might happen if the dollar continues to decline against the Euro? The headquarters of OPEC is in Vienna. What if OPEC made the decision to switch the price of oil to be benchmarked to the Euro? Even if that radical step were not taken, a declining dollar will force the price up, in dollars. Euro economies will not experience an increase in price as the dollar has declined. The truly powerful upward demand pressure on the price comes from China and India whose currencies are less tied to the dollar than the U.S. would like them to be.
As I will discuss in my annual predictions next week, 2008 will be the year when the concept of peak oil will move into the larger awareness of the public. A great number of scientists and energy experts believe, as do I, that the world is now passing through peak oil. When the understanding of this probability sinks in it will trigger some oil producing companies to start to manage sales for the long term. This could well drive up the price as production will be limited as these countries look for long term revenues.
Of course the great news in the rise in the price of oil is that incredible amounts of investment capital are now flowing into the alternative, renewable energy field. Now that people in the U.S. and around the world have accepted the fact that oil will most likely never be cheap again, the rush toward alternative energy will accelerate as there will be a perception that large financial investments can be recouped.
It is gratifying when my predictions about the future prove to be true. It is one of the reasons you read this column. I appreciate your readership and will strive to continue to provide you with clear views into the future. It is my job as a futurist to do so.

Jim Cramer (Mad Money) Covers Ultra Petroleum and Hudson City Bank
The year of natural gas. While oil has doubled, natural gas is where it was 2 years ago. This will end in 08.
Ultra Petroleum UPL $71.45 is the natural gas play. UPL is focused on production growth, and the government is helping them do this. The Bureau of Land Management has agreed to allow more land and more wells in the Pinedale and Jonah natural gas fields, and UPL will profit from this. UPL will be able to increase the amount of wells there by 8 fold. Also, in the 3rd quarter of 08, Land Management should alow them to drill year round.
Hudson City Bank HCBK $14.81. This is the best run bank out there. Almost no bad loans, and because they require such large down payments, they still profit from these loans when the property is resold. On average, HCBK gets 41% downpayment on each loan they write, and they keep their own loans, instead of selling them to a 2nd party, or buying loans written by other financials. Most banks spend 55 cents to earn one $1. HCBK is so streamlined, that they spend only 25 cents to earn $1.

This latest edition of a bestselling text provides updated data and addresses changes in refinery feedstock, product distribution, and processing requirements resulting from federal and state legislation.
Providing a detailed overview of todays integrated fuels refinery, the book discusses each major refining process as they relate to topics such as feedstock preparation, operating costs, catalysts, yields, finished product properties, and economics. It also contains end-of-chapter problems and an ongoing case study.

By Robert A. Thayer “WorldTraveler” (Texas)
I am an investment analyst and used this book to get up to speed on an unfamiliar industry. I found it to be clear, well organized, and containing all the info I needed to understand the dynamics driving the business and the lingo. There was more engineering and scientific info than I needed for my purposes, but it was useful to thumb through those chapters to get a high level understanding of the issues. Highly recommended for people new to the industry.
