I don't know about the "peak oil" story. A lot of that has to do with drilling bans, especially by the US, which don't allow the oil companies to establish new resources, raising the price of existing reserves. And the bans on refineries which limit the amount of gasoline which can be produced, thereby inflating the prices.
