IMO there is certainly a conspiracy at work here. Those with a vested interest in denying peak oil, which is practically everyone on the planet, will be denying it as long as they possibly can. Just like how the tobacco companies denied the risks of smoking until it became so blindingly obvious that they weren't telling the truth.
Abiotic oil just doesn't work in the real world and that's what matters. There's plenty of depleted oil fields in the world and they aren't suddenly refilling - that's why they ran out. If they refill in a million years or even 1000 years then that's not much use to us now.
At best it means we could keep using oil but at a drastically slower pace than we do today - in practice that means we still have a "shortage" problem.
There could be huge unannounced reserves sitting somewhere though. That is certainly possible and is something that very few would know for sure if it's true. And nobody can say for sure that it isn't true.
As for the "excess power from a car" bit, that just defies all the fundamental laws of physics. The power came from the fuel in the first place and you're not going to (A) power the car and (B) produce enough "excess" power to be self sustaining.
In short, it's another "free energy machine" they're on about. I've seen quite a few of those ideas and even had someone show me one. Just one thing - dig deep enough and there's always some hidden energy input somewhere or some store of energy being depleted whilst the machine runs.
I can get two power drills from any hardware store. One mains powered, the other cordless. Then I can set both up on a stand locked on to maximum speed with something (eg a drill bit) attached. On the surface, the "no wires attached, completely self contained" cordless one is self sustaining. Just don't mention that battery that's slowly running down.
Much the same applies to most of the so-called free energy machines - something is gradually getting discharged, hot, cold, lighter, losing pressure, slowing down etc to make it work.
I'll stand corrected only if these people can build a car powered this way, have it independently inspected and then drive it 10,000 km without any servicing or otherwise doing anything other than drive. And then weigh the car, do a thorough inspection etc to ensure that no stored energy in any form has been depleted. I won't be holding my breath for it to happen...
