Sounds like a marketing campaign for Sinclair oil. www.sinclair.com

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Hermit - You can go to many stores and buy do it yourself bumper stickers. Just need a computer and printer. Or have a friend that does. But a more accurate one would be "Powered By Microscopic Plants And Animals" LOL.
Or go really deep: " Powered By Oil Found In The Minds Of Men".. A paraphrase of a statement made long ago by a famous geologist.

I think I read somewhere that over 95% of all fossil fuels came from plant life (specifically algea)- not dinosaurs

Why is it that people typing on the internet are so lazy that they can't be bothered to do five to thirty seconds of checking such ideas.
It appears you are correct. I did thirty seconds of checking with a Google search of "oil comes from where", and the top several hits I got were 100% in agreement that oil comes from tiny marine organisms, from before the age of dinosaurs.
Before the age of the internet, it was inconvenient and often difficult to come up with several sources to reliably confirm such things. Now, not so much.
Given the track record of the perma-doomer blogs, I wouldn't bet a fast crash doomer's money on their predictions.

Outcast - Well done. But one small correction: huge amounts of oil/NG were generated long after the age of the Dino's. As well as during and before those times.
The oldest significant amount of oil was found in Australia... 1.3 billion years old. But half of the world's oil production has come from sediments deposited after the last dino pooped during the Tertiary from 65 million to 1 million years.
Tanada might remember I gave this answer back on 30 Novel 2014:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ROCKMAN', 'M')OST of the world's oil comes from geological sediments laid down since the time when animals and plants had already evolved to highly advanced forms. But a recent discovery in Australia may not only enhance scientific understanding of primitive life forms but may also disclose hitherto untapped sources of oil. A team of geologists working for the Australian Government's Bureau of Mineral Resources reports in the journal Nature that it has discovered oil formed from the decayed remains of organisms that lived 1.4 billion years ago, when the earth was young. After the group drilled a 1,100-foot-deep test hole beneath the McArthur Basin in northern Australia, the oldest oil of its kind ever found bubbled to the surface.
Half of the world's oil production comes from sediments deposited during the Tertiary period, which began 65 million years ago and ended 1.8 million years ago. Most of the rest of the oil comes from the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods, when dinosaurs ruled the land, from 195 million to 65 million years ago. Analysis of the oil found by the Australian group showed that it had been produced from the remains of primitive bacteria and algae, the only forms of life that existed on the earth 1.4 billion years ago. ''These results show that exploration of previously ignored sediments may lead to the discovery of new reserves of oil,'' the Australians said.
Is that the quote you are talking about?
II Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
