Not so sure, if the price of oil bombs out it would likely mean global manufacturing dies along with it.

Not necessarily because the methods of obtaining crude oil then refining it down to
a use able quality high grade motor oil is a long process....

what if you could just create it out of specialized algae instead....and eliminate
all the drilling and pumping and transporting it to a refinery.... and just make it at the refinery.
That's where the industry is heading....
that and electrical vehicles....
but the infrastructure for re-charging batteries is Not in place and we're along ways away from having that as available as gasoline .

But what if the cars themselves become the charging station....
then you have a viable method of long distance availability.
New materials such as graphene layered solar cells that are stacked ten or more thick gives you a much more
robust way of self charging. I think Detroit has to be reborn just like the Tesla
automobile company has demonstrated.
