I had no idea when I blithely used a slang term for petroleum based engine oil in my contribution to a break-in oil discussion that I would have launched such a fascinating and educational thread! Thanks all ;^)

https://ec.yimg.com/ec?url=https%3A%2F% ... cpw72w--~D[/img] I recall the same "scientists" around 1975 telling all that would listen about how the world would pump its last drop of oil out of the ground by 2015 at the latest. That fringe theory is called "peak oil." Peak oil has been around for over a century, claiming all the time the people of Earth were on the verge of global war, fighting for the last drops of oil.

The above supports the "abiotic" theory of carbon fuels, which says some or maybe most of the oil and natural gas we consume today was NOT created millions of years ago from greeny (biologic) ooze.

Duncan, let me guess. You think cave men riding dinosaurs discovered petroleum . The apocryphal reference to dinosaurs just refers to fact that the ingredients for the oil started to accumulate millions of years ago (long before dinosaurs even existed). This article should explain everything to you.
