Whats the worst possible scenario?

When it comes to oil prices, whats the worst possible scenario to occur?
Are we talking about economic crash or somthing less?



Thanks in advance

Worst possible scenario. gas costs upwards of 100 dollars a gallon, nobody can afford to drive, this escalates the price of olmost everything. The economy falls apart. Rioting and looting. People starve and die in the suburbs while inner cities become vastly overcrowded. martial law is declared. The government becomes a fascist dictatorship. civilization as we know it falls into barbarism and a new dark ages begin.

Worst possible senario???

shortage of oil between Russia, US, Japan, Europe, China and India leads to an all out nuclear war and the extinction of humans.........

Does it get any worse than that??
