91.9 for 87 Octane, 101.9 for 89 Octane, 111.9 for 93 Octane, here in South Texas. Prices were down to 89.9, 99.9 and 109.9 a couple of weeks before Christmas.
But this could change tomorrow.

Sorry, can't stop laughing when I read the gas prices in the US. After converting our prices into $$s and gallons I have $3.50 for 93 octane. :crazy: Luckily the prices are low at the moment, we already had about $4/gal :U

Yep, the guys in the US are really lucky - just see the gas price in Finland:

$3.70 / gallon 99 octane

So, next time you´re bitching about the gas prices going up, think the Vette drivers in Europe first!

Hey, tapio! Just out of curiousity, how much did you have to pay to purchase your Vette(s)? My understanding is the European car market can be hugely expensive but my familiarity is Eastern European (Hungary).

For my 64 coupe, around 19.500 USD.

Yeah, cars in general can be expensive, but the Corvette market is reasonable in my opinion.

Excellent pictures on your links!

19K USD seems a reasonable price. I don't think it makes up for the cost of gas though.
