Oil is going to break $100 a bbl very soon. meaning $3.40 to $3.60 a gal or therebouts depending on where you live.
Closer to $4.00 for those of us lucky Californians.....

But as for your engine dilemma, I'd recommend a Buick 3.8. They are light, very reliable motors, and have a very nice, and usable powerband. They are also nice because some of them are factory supercharged, and the engines can be had pretty inexpensively, in quite a few cases, under $1000 for a used one. But that's if you know where to look, and where you live, too.
