I am beginning to think it's like global warming...a non event blown out of all proportion by doom and gloomers. I find it very difficult to believe that stuff that has been bubbling away deep in the earth for billions of years is likely to run out after 150 yrs.

Nah, you guys have no imagination. Run the V8 on LPG, fill all the aircraft up with used chip oil from the local fish and chip shop, and run buses on methane, just like they do in China. We don't need no steenking oil... 
We have a local loony in our neighbourhood who is really into this... check out www.oilcrash.com (but don't take it too seriously, most of this stuff comes from out-of-control greenies and other conspiracists... does anybody really believe we have found all the oil yet... or that we have exploited the stuff found so far...?)

They said last night that we are burning 80 or 110 million barrels a day (i cant remember the nunber), and growing. Surly it cant last forever if we burn that much motion lotion a day.

MOR I didn't see the show but, from what I've read, the problem is not that the oil has run out, it's more that the easy to extract oil is running out. The hard to get stuff is still there, but it costs a hell of a lot more to get.
Best offers on the Fairlane guys...first to see will buy...

Never fear chaps Capt Canola is here .... currently being produced for around 24cpl in many spots around Aust ... You can run all the machinery on it for mucho less $$$ than the steenky arab black crap and tell 'em to shove it back in the ground if not elsewhere. A problem you ask? 
.... yeh the govt sponsored oil companies. (oops there goes my shiny new red asic card) and for the petrol sniffing Fairlanes and LTD's (mines an 89 LTD) off to the sugar plantations for your ethanol. The lucky country ....you bet. If you feel a need to learn google envirodiesel and see what the world's doing. (won't stop global warming but have to get more drastic for that & I bags being f/o on the first camel outa town)
cheers

I had a quote for $2100 to convert, but then I had a $3000 repair bill for the transmission & other stuff...it's now got 270,000k's on the clock. I think I'll replace it first & then convert to dual fuel.

Yeah, I get that, thanks...
There's a really good ad showing over here in Noo Zild, featuring a guy justifying his V8... saying "I don't give a stuff about the environment... I like my V8."
Not very PC, but I stood up and applauded anyway. There are far worse environmental problems than a few V8s running around NZ.
The stuff may be harder to get, but as the price is already artificially high, I foresee prices coming down at some point. Having said that, I'm putting my money into hydrogen fuel cells... ethanol has too many overheads (as in it causes more pollution to produce it than you would have otherwise created by using petrol in the first place). Ethanol is an urban myth.

If you guys wanna believe a bunch of BS from the extreme left of the green movement fill you boots.
Personally I have done enough research to feel comfortable that neither me, nor my child, or her children are going to face the appocolyptic die-off crap being spouted by a bunch of lunies who think either
1/. Their version of utopia is just around the corner via a mechanism, Peak Oil, that enforces a new aggrarian age...oh and unfortunately 90% of the world population will have to die..sorry!
Yes there are peak oil doomers out there actually suggesting that all immigration will need to be holted and the old, infirm should be 'humanely' euthanased. That capital punishment will need to be reintroduced and it's base broadened to include a larger swathe of crimes. That unhealthy babies be aborted either in utero or afterwards...'humanely' and 'painlessly' of course. All this to ensure the survival of the chosen few (them no doubt) in their utopian post oil/global warming world.
Because humanely and painlessly depopulating the world is much better than just letting people starve!!!!!
2/. That the great appocolyptic 'taking up,' or whatever the **** they call it, is upon us.
Peak oil is a myth as is global warming.
