i think it has to do with the supply and demand curve. it seems that the owners of the oil companies demand for making absurd amounts of money is actually behind the supply of said money, hence the higher prices. plus, it's great for the economy (if by the economy you mean the micro-economy of the absurdly wealthy)
the curve? well that would be the curvature of the sharp stick i feel violating me everytime i'm at the pump.

NO!! They went up again because the speculators speculated that someone may be speculating about speculating something else that may or may not take place but they are just speculating that the said speculated occurance will effect the cost of something in some speculated way like it would oil.
