Ok, so if I'm planning on buying a new(er) car next year, and I hope that it'll last at least 10 years after that, would a strictly electric be the way to go?

I'm split at the moment between going with a conventional gas-guzzler (my realistic dream car is this), a hybrid, or electric. Problem is, even the low-end electrics are out of my price range, and a halfway-decent hybrid would be a stretch, meaning my only shot at a decent car is entirely gas/oil dependent. (For context, I drive an ancient rust-bucket, and one of my shallow ego-driven goals before the collapse of civilization was to have a decent car for at least a few years before it all goes to shit.)

I ask because I followed the peak oil issue for about a decade between the early 2000s to the early 2010s, and the timeline/projection in that time didn't pan out (instead of an era of near shortages and high prices, we're in an era of always available oil at low prices), but I haven't paid attention to it lately and haven't had the time and mental energy to figure out who or what is reliable (and who isn't reliable) in the whole matter.
