yeah... I don't get it either... I was reading a story where the oil "traders" were blaming N. Korea, Iran, the gulf and supply and demand... I guess if you don't like one excuse you may like one of the others...hahaha

The oil industry is a cartel. They'll use any excuse to raise prices and nail the public. They lied to Preisdent Bush (& also , Clinton), when they closed dozens of refineries and ASSURED the president that there would be no oil supply disruption nor lack of refining capacity.
Well that capacity is stretched to the limit. Any hint of a storm in the Gulf Coast and oil rises.
And why are we still reliant on oil when there are plenty of alternatives that are, now the same price as oil or are actually chepr? Why are we still depdent on Arabs and Muslims who hate us and want to destroy us?
Bush is an oil man. He only cares for, and enriches a group of his friends, the rest can fend for themselves..
He's in Iraq to protect his buddies the Saudis, and to stop disruption of World Oil distribution.
Korean conflict can disrupt oil shipping, good enough excuse for Exxon, and up goes the price.

good questions, very good. I can only say that from what i hear in the news they have loaded the launch pads again getting ready to test somemore. Now does this mean the Oil companies increase a percentage for every missle or do they charge a fix amount for an x amount of launches. would be good to know so we dont drive for an x amount of time our cars

The Korean missile issue is separate, not even tangentially related, to the oil pricing issue.
The two exhibit a phenomenon called "covariance." Your question mistakenly assumes that the two events involve "causality" but they aren't causes and results, they are events that exhibit covariance.

because of the potential that it will disrupt the markets in general. Wall Street is more skidish than a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
