Here's a unique concept: It was the dinosaurs and their mass extinction that provided us with oil. Good possibility that we are the fuel for whatever will follow our sorry asses.

It wasn't the dinosaurs but the earliest "trees" (actually mostly giant club mosses like wawaiole and tree ferns) that became coal and oil. And they only did so because there was nothing at the time that could eat the wood after they died and fell over in swamps. Animals (and fungi) have evolved since then, so now everything rots away before it gets buried and "cooked" into hydrocarbons. So there will never be any significant amount of oil made, and hasn't been for 300 million years.
