460.....Nice, kiss fuel economy goodbye.

We have a Ford pickup truck on the farm with a 460.  I was lucky to see 9 MPG from it....Granted it was alway doing work so that didn't help any.

It's not how fast the speedo goes; it will be how fast the fuel gauge goes down thought.
rowing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!!
