What’s the cheapest / most efficient way to short oil prices?

Let’s say you hypothetically believed oil will be dropping 20% in the next 12 months. Is there an instrument that allows you to profit if you’re right without insane capital investment (eg min 100k for a future) or above market interest? Either options or a plain short that works like stocks on a margin account.

Thanks!
