sidenote, since we are on the subject of OIL: if companies/people would switch over to biodiesel then we could lessen our dependence on dino-fuel. Biodiesel is not flammable, it is non-toxic, and it lets your engine run cooler. It is a better lubricant than dino-based fuels, and it is renewable. Using soy or rapeseed oil, or some other high-yield oil you can produce biodiesel for about 1/2 the current cost of dino-fuel. Germany has been running on 100% biodiesel for awhile, due to laws/mandates, and they are going to be in a much better situation when the crunch happens, as a result.
