Hopefully, both sides will arm themselves to the max with American weapons and sell oil by tanker to pay for it no matter how low the price goes...

Gas prices will go up. Way up. Hopefully, only the American companies be able to exploit it. If Middle East burns, American/Canadian/Norwegian oil will be worth much higher.

That’s because the Saudis had the US to fight their battles for them.
