Not at all.
Again, the problem with the entire concept of "peak oil" is that we are still discovering more oil and new methods of getting to it. How can you predict when we've peaked out when we continue to discover more oil, and now with new methods of oil collection all of stats about peak oil are completely off. While oil consumption continues to rise, in our lifetime we'll see it drop off dramatically. Electric cars are coming on line and once that because main stream - and we aren't too far away from that - our oil consumption will drop to nearly nothing.
