agree with tellico, you will not like the performance of a 302 after you get used to the 460. Besides if you stay out of it then you have nothing to worry about.

just drive the 460 with a slower acceleration and decelleration and your gas milage will be ok. the faster and harder you step on the gas the worst gas milage you will get
