Brazil has a balancing ordsprog

Brazil has a balancing effect on prices; we don't have the volatility we used to. In the past, it was all about the Florida crop. With a freeze like this, we could have prices go from 95 cents to $2. That's not the situation now.

Prices remain on the rise but there is hope that we may be nearing a peak. Wholesale gas prices have averaged about $2.60 per gallon for the past week. Taxes add about 60 cents to that, transportation and dealer profit is another 5-10 cents. Prices in the L.A./Long Beach area could peak at $3.25-$3.30 by mid-May then they could decline after Memorial Day.

It's safe to predict that there will be volatility with prices and I'll be very surprised to see (prices) drop under $2.60 this summer, and even into the fall we'll see some volatility as hurricane season approaches.

If Brazil has a small crop, we could continue to have higher prices for a couple of years.

Every dollar means two and a half cents a gallon for oil prices. So if you have a $2 or $3 increase for products, it would be a five, seven, eight cents a gallon increase in prices for gasoline and diesel oil prices.

Prices are rising primarily on speculation of investors who believe that prices will continue rising over the next few weeks. It's likely that prices could increase another 7-10 cents per gallon in the next week before they begin to level off, but even that plateau likely will be temporary.

The downgrade reflects our concerns about Wolverine's exposure to rapidly rising copper prices, which have risen by about 50 cents per pound since the end of the third quarter of 2005 and about 20 cents per pound in January 2006 alone. We expect that higher copper prices would result in a continued drain of Wolverine's liquidity and that Wolverine's credit metrics will remain very poor over the near term as the company continues to face high copper prices.

What we are seeing is that these numbers are coming in line with other confidence figures, which shot ahead in May and June with oil prices falling, and now with oil prices soaring, we are seeing the effect from higher prices at the pump.

Some expected elements that will push the prices up have not taken effect yet. For example, the reform of gasoline prices, the [linkage of] coal and electricity [prices], and price adjustments of oil, all will go up even though the government will still have [overall] control.

Retail gasoline prices have gone up 15 cents in the past two weeks. The increases can be traced to investor speculation leading to higher prices for both crude and wholesale gasoline. With crude trading around $64 a barrel, it doesn't appear likely gasoline will fall below $2 a gallon anytime soon.

We can't speak for each of the 170,000 gasoline stations nationwide, ... But it's clear that gasoline prices are up 29 cents a gallon because crude oil prices are up about 29 cents a gallon during the same period.

The prices of $51 for 2006 and $46 for 2007-2008 are considered a more realistic option. Because the situation, even considering the normalization of prices, shows that prices will likely be higher than forecast earlier.

Ethanol makes up only 10 percent of a gallon of gasoline. If gasoline prices are up 36 cents, then ethanol would only make up 3.6 cents of that. And 85 percent of users have long-term contracts that are significantly below the spot-market prices.

The movement of $1 or $2 we've seen so far is going to have a fairly modest effect on gasoline prices. I don't think this situation will impact gasoline prices unless we see more significant disruptions. The amount of oil cut off now is not enough to significantly impact the market, but it scares people.

Retail gasoline prices have moved higher against a backdrop of increased crude oil prices. A year ago, crude oil traded at $49 a barrel and gas prices averaged $1.79 -- 49 cents lower than the current average of $2.28. This week, crude hovers around $66 a barrel.
