Gas Milage

hi all im thinking of trading in my 86 F-150 tomorrow for a 1990 F-250 4x4 460 with an auto with electronic overdrive. i was wondering if anyone in here had one and knew what kind of milage i should expect. my F-150 only gets 12 highway because of the lift and tires and i thought the 460 would get about the same. another question is about the transmission are these electronic overdrive trannies any good?

My '94 250 460 gets about 9 city and 11 highway in good weather, but I've been getting about 8 recently using the 4x4.

I commute 50 miles round-trip to the city for work with my 95 F250 351 4x4. With the really cold temps up here in Canada(takes awhile for the drivetrain to warm up so lots of friction) I'm averaging 10mpg.
