Interestingly, in the context of your earlier post... they think the reduced consumption during the period of the oil embargo actually delayed the peaking of oil by some years. A blessing in disguise so it were! Was also some amazing stuff on how oil came to be. Quote:
That's the key. Global market. The US gets most of its oil and refined product internationally. That means when their domestic supply takes a hit... or if their demand increases... it has an impact on the global market... because it impacts the US demand for international product. This is why US summer, winter (fall and spring not as bad), holidays, hurricanes, strikes etc have such a dramatic impact on our fuel prices. Because they use so much more of the stuff than anyone else. You dont see global prices rise because of a long weekend which is a popular driving holiday in New Zealand. I reiterate my earlier comments and Volcom, having seen that doco, will probably agree. We will soon beg for the days of $1.50/L fuel.

I heard a story last week that the current oil price rise was due to the US sending 12 war ships in the gulf down the cannal (towards iran) and the oil companies have got a bit nervous about the possibility of supply issues again so the price has risen short term as a result, anyone else heard this?
