    I assume this means the website has found a new host. I tried a bunch of links at random and found no broken ones. What impressed me once again is what a valuable resource this site is.

    Here's an interesting item from today's Japanese media. According to government figures released yesterday (Jan 31), sales of gasoline, kerosene, fuel oil, and others experienced their first decline in 32 years. According to a Nikkei article, oil companies say the decline came faster than expected, and now it appears they have excess refining capacity. Gasoline fell 1.1%, diesel 1.7%, and kerosene 11.2%. Transport fuel declines are attributed to high prices, while kerosene is mostly because of the warm winter.

    Intelligence Daily is back up (sort of), and they are running a Xinhua article saying that Indonesia had 1.2 billion bbl of oil discoveries last year. But the figures for projected oil production given in the article mean that these discoveries will barely raise Indonesia's output. Moral of the story: don't get excited.

    I got the impression that Intel Daily was hacked.

    More news on Japanese auto sales. The Japan Automobile Dealers Association reports that January 2007 sales of automobiles (excluding "kei" cars) were a whopping 10.3% down from sales in January 2006. On the other hand, the Japan Mini Vehicles Association reported that sales of kei cars were up 2.4%, reaching the highest level ever. Sales of small passenger cars fell 18.2%, so it appears that kei cars are getting many of their new users from former small passenger car owners. Reasons for the shift are, predictably, lower maintenance and fuel costs.

    Rice Farmer - yep, the Mexicans are getting hit right in the ol' tortilla by bio-fuels driving (pun intended) up the cost of corn.

    As for car sales in the USofA, the big three continued to get hammered with Ford reporting a staggering 12.7 Billion dollar loss for 2006 and January sales down 19%. GM ("we need more dHummers") sales down 16.6%, and Daimler Chrysler was up a wimpy 3.2%.

    Toyota on the other hand saw a 13.1% increase.
