Goldman Sachs expects oil prices to surge to nearly $140 a barrel this summer --- but it will feel like $160

Lackluster refining capacity could cause the spread between crude prices and gasoline to widen even further, say analysts at Goldman Sachs.

Here is a recent one in 2022 where Goldman called for Brent to hit 140 and afterwards it climbed just a couple of dollars and then hit 75 near the end of the year. Just dont trust anything those crooks push with their track record of playing the other side against their clients many times.

The only thing is Goldman is notorious for running articles against their actual actions in the markets. Might look and see if they said similar things about oil prices in the past when they actually fell some.

They are all shills. Just thought it funny the day after I posted this came out the very next morning. 😂

I remember all the Zero Hedge articles on Goldman's manipulations. Heads Goldman wins and Tails you lose.

Like I said before my own prediction is we get close to $3.00 at some point but I wouldnt bet on gas going up a lot from $ 3.53 for any extended period with where the economy is headed. I end up wrong with the timing on a lot of this stuff though.

What are you waiting for? Friday I filled up @3.02 a gallon at BJ's Club. Oil prices have no place to go but up considering this administration and the current state of affairs world wide. We have plenty of oil to last 100 years or more but don't have refinery capacity to keep up.

Known oil reserves should last 550 years.

I don't know but feel confident I'll never need to worry about it. Absolutely ZERO effs to give. I'm good with 30 years. 😂

 

[fatman76]

Great.

I just bought a new (used) Tundra with the 5.7.

You can literally watch the fuel gauge dip when you give it some throttle.

Replying to myself for the first time ever.

3 days of mixed driving I’m at 13.2mpg.

Love the truck but FML. I’m gonna be a second job stat soon.

Holy effffffff!!! I don't have that engine but my 20 year old Tundra gets 18 in town. 😂 Maybe it's something to do with my oxygen sensor being non functional for at 10 of that? I luffs my check engine light, lets me know all it good while it blinks. 😂

I have no CEL. Car purrs, it’s like the engine is off at stoplights. So smooth.

You have the 5.7 and 18 in town???

What fuel do you use?

My truck is 2014 LTD TRD Pro.

No. Pretty sure I said I don't have your MAGA engine. Mine has never tasted a drop of anything other than 87 octane. Spoil the engine, fleece the driver.

Well my other cars are Land Rover, Vintage Ford, BMW and Volkswagen brand (and all are over a decade old).

I’m REALLY used to being flogged by my cars. I work on them but some stuff is too much. That’s sort of why I bought a Toyota…and selling the vintage Ford.

I love her but a guy should get a new truck every 25 years or so whether he deserves one or not. And I took damn good care of the old Ford, she’s a solid truck.

I take care of stuff. My like new 2007 PT Cruiser with 152,000 miles is ready to go to Seattle. I can't afford to buy a new Silverado in Brandon's inflationary tidal wave. I like to dine on NY strips at older daughter's steak house.

Yea but no one wants to go to Seattle or Portland. Like San Fran, the libs have ruined some really great cities.

Nice! That means I should be able to drive my Tundra another 5 years before considering a newer one.

I bought mine with 153k and plan to go for 500k.

I have a buddy with an '08 that's close to 600k, and he has a 2019 with close to 200k.

I hate the new ones are 6cyl turbos....zero chance you'll get to 1MM miles in a gas turbo engine.

I bought my 03 right off the internet parking lot, brand new. It looks like hell as it's been stolen, hit twice, the non factory paint doesn't last no matter how good the repair shop is. But it's got over 350k miles on it now. I haven't had to do anything major to it but every few years I'll have to do something that ends up costing $500-1000. Still beats a truck payment big time. Had I not used it in the woods for hunting it would be a hell of a lot better off. Another plus is that my insurance payments are low because the value is so low that they can't justify charging more. I cringe that something bad (accident) might happen because it would total out instantly due to that.

It may be...many vehicles today have that feature.

That last part is why I'm not painting and fully restoring the 1989 F150 - well that and it's a 30 year old vehicle that isn't a great highway vehicle.

I could easily dump $10k into her cosmetics and then a minor fender bender pays out $4k and a salvage title. It doesn't make sense for a daily driver.

I will miss her though, it'll be a sad day when she pulls out of the driveway. Those old Ford square bodies are great trucks.

This one doesn't, thankfully.

It just idles smooth AF.

One of my neighbors has a new F250 gas truck. I rode with him one day and when we came to a stop, I thought WTF? It was like the engine turned off. He said it was some new feature, I had no idea they did that. He said he could turn that off if he wanted to. That made me think, there is so much technical BS on all the new vehicles it's just another thing to go wrong and cost a fortune to get fixed.

The new Tundra being a 6cyl turbo, and features like auto shutoff are all EPA related.

The EPA has annually escalating gas mileage standards that are averaged over a manu's entire fleet. So it's really punitive to have even one gas guzzler in your lineup. Plus, Toyota is trying to keep up with the EcoBoost's fuel economy in light of Brandon's energy policies.

The problem is the EcoBoost is a great performer but a total disaster when something goes wrong. They are VERY complicated and very difficult to work on.

But to your point...yea, it's really hard on an engine and a starter to shut down and restart at every traffic light. And it might gain you 0.5mpg max. It's stupid, and it's one more thing we have to deal with because of leftists.

When my 2014 dies I'll be hunting a 2021 with a 5.7L, or perhaps a Ram with the NA Hemi.

Sister-in-law had dealer turn off her stop-start feature on her 2018 Cherokee. She said it drove her buggy.

I'm not positive but I think he had a switch to turn that off. That's got to be hard on something somewhere in the grand scheme of things. Eff that, guarantee the gas savings aren't equal to a repair of that.
