Britain enters the world wars with domestic oil

Domestic oil sufficient to support Britain would dramatically change both world wars.

Question

How would the world wars change if Britain were a major oil power?

Short answer

Britain would have enough fuel to support itself, dramatically changing both world wars.

Notes

A major domestic oil supply would let Britain meet its own fuel needs. That is expected to change both world wars substantially. The reply does not work through individual campaigns or economic effects.
