According to the EIA IES stats last I looked global peak oil hit in 2018. So Hubbert and his mid-90's estimate wasn't off by more than a couple of decades. But who cares? Solutions are here, local gasoline is < $2.00/gal.

EVs blowing out the door with huge discounts, a fraction of the fuel costs and near zero maintenance? I say let those devoted to liquid fuels just keep paying through the nose for liquid fuels as punishment.

13k miles on mine and....I've rotated the tires twice (both freebies), and am averaging approximately 1.3 cents/mile for electrons.  Peak oil? Well...might need to change the tranny gear lube in another 50,000 miles....couple quarts. If global peak oil currently at the 8 year mark isn't delivering much in the way of results, well, then I doubt prices for the gear oil will be very high even a couple years from now.

The price of oil is near the bottom of collapse issues at the moment.  Half the world is too busy being bombed back to the stone age to burn it.  Great conservation technique.  Leaves plenty for Happy Motoring in the other half.

Well....CRAP! Oil was a good one, rather than the slower and longer term climate change and whatnot. No wonder even 8 years after it happened no one seems to care. An attention span thing maybe!

Ah, consumption is still headed up, whomever is getting bombed must have been stone age in the first place.

No, their consumption now gets replaced fueling the planes necessary to bomb them.

So then it certainly isn't a great conservation technique, is it, as it drives consumption up rather than down.
