stroker gas milage

i have read a couple of posts on these big 460 cubic inch build-ups. i just had to maybe wake a few people up. remember bigger isn't always better. you might want to re-think a big 521ci, build or a 557 ci. build. remember gas prices are $3.50 a gallon in some or most areas for premium gas and if you are on a budget then these may not be the right thing for you for everyday driving remember what you build you have to live with. you will most likely spend $100.00 to $200.00 a ( week ) on gas and ( ouch! ) that hurts if you put allot of miles on it. might want to think about an older diesel if you are going to do allot of towing they realy get better fuel milage 7.3 .. now don't post replies saying negative things, i own a big 472 myself but rather drive my 1992 escort around for now ( 37 m.p.g. ). just want people to realize what they are getting into. a nice bored 460 .060 over and a nice cam will pull just about anything anywhere and get a whole lot better gas milage and leave allittle cash in your wallet for Burger King...
