Some napkin math suggests July 11, 2478 AD assuming 1% annual growth and utilization of PtL / Fischer–Tropsch.

Closer to March 19, 2063 if you just mean crude oil supplies only.

Is that assuming a large fraction of the supply will be synthetic fuels created by electrolysis?

I would like to see the napkin. I wasn't aware synthetic fuels were on that kind of a trajectory.
