Things is with Oil.
The oil companies do not want to over supply we all know this drives the price per barrel down.
and we can only measure by what our current sources are taping from so
if an oil rug planted in the gulf of Mexico runs dry, pretty sure it will be shifted (with the Vanguard) to where the oil companies next planned location (not for public knowledge)
here's some previous predictions:
"The world will run out of oil in 10 years."
- U.S. Bureau of Mines (1914)
"The world will run out of oil in 13 years."
- U.S. Department of the Interior (1939 and 1950)
"The world will run out of oil and other fossil fuels by 1990."
- Paul Erlich, Limits to Growth (1973)
"The world will run out of oil in 2030, and other fossil fuels in 2050."
- Paul Erlich, Beyond the Limit (2002)
I dunno I personally believe there's plenty out there.

Yeah as time goes on and our technology to measure things improves we get a more accurate estimate.
Weather it's 15,000 days or 150,000 It will run out one day. I don't see the point of using it on things that don't require it when I think it will be better to save it to last for thousands of years so we can use it in areas where we actually want to use it.
I'm not saying we all should switch to electric tomorrow, but switching Toyota Camry's as soon as possible is better for our big V8 muscle cars and such.
