SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Crude-oil futures ended higher Monday, and gasoline futures rallied more than 2%, helped by a stretch of bitter cold in the Northeast U.S. and Europe, and expectations of increased auto travel over the Christmas holiday weekend.
Crude for January delivery [CLF11] , the front-month contract that expires Monday, rose 79 cents, or 0.9%, to $88.81 a barrel by the close of floor trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.http://markets.usatoday.com/custom/...S&guid={C7E9B204-0C3B-11E0-8617-00212804637C}

Doooood! LT1 goodness is not just for Vettes & Impalas...have you not heard of the mighty Buick Roadmasters and Caprice Wagons equipped with them in the mid 90's? Granted these LT1 engines are a heavier iron block version.

I have a 95 Caprice and a 96 Roadie - the last of the great RWD wagons of the 20th century! Sweet!
 
I miss my Impala still. Very first car-73 version. Put a lot of long road miles on it plus was big enough to carry all my worlds belongs between towns for several years, when relocating for new jobs when I got out of college. :cool:

That $2.77 is for 87 octane, 10% ethanoil...I paid $2.89 for 89 octane pure Conoco last night..

There is a freeway Shell station near by that sells pure Premium 93 octane for $4.05.. (Big Johnson hi-way grill)---> don't get me started:D

Where abouts are you located Fab?
 
Kentuckiana : P

Gas prices are killer when you drive a long (20mi) way to the job and at least 10 or 12 mi. to the nearest supermarket.

There are a couple of small roadside gas and groceries places within 2-3 miles but not much selection.

Thus, it doesnt make me too sad to see the market come tumbling down like it did in May - that cuts gas prices a lot.
