When oil runs short the price will skyrocket. Oil is a very important commodity in our economy. The higher the price rises the slower our economy will grow. At some point the economy will shrink.
Capitalism does not work on a shrinking economy. Global meltdown will be the consequence - unless we find a replacement for oil by that time.
It is debated among experts whether the US has reached its oil peak. Some argue that advancements in technology have unlocked new reserves, while others believe that production has plateaued. The US Energy Information Administration has reported fluctuations in US oil production in recent years.
PEAK makes peak motor oil, they are known for their antifreeze products before they launched their motor oil line. It's apparently already sponsored the IndyCar when it was first launched in 2007, and is being called "premium motor oil".

The definition of peak oil, depending on who you ask, is slightly different; some say it is the last point when our demand for fossil fuels is met by oil production, while others define it as the time when maximum global oil production is reached, and declines hereafter. Regardless of semantics, the theory of peak oil basically states that at our current, rapidly expanding rate of oil consumption, we will reach a point in time when oil production will no longer meet our needs. Those who believe in peak oil theory will state that, either we are approaching peak oil (in the next 10, 15, or 20 years), or we are already at the point of peak oil. After the point of peak oil, because supply is not meeting demand, there will be accelerated hikes in gas prices (and since most food and product manufacturing requires oil), there will be hyperinflation in the economy.

After hundreds of hours reading, it would seem that we have likely already had the peak in production of oil in 2006
The world's peak oil-producing years are projected to be coming in the years 2020-2030, or earlier.
