A 460 at that level hasn't even broke a sweat. I don't think any of us bought or built our cars for their mileage potential and many will scoff at the thought, but it's something to consider. The cost of gas is steadily climbing and you will be in the 10 - 12MPG range, maybe less. A 100 - 125 mile Sunday cruise could set you back $50 to rumble around at 50 - 65MPH. I'm liable to get yelled at for bringing this up, but at some point it's going to become an issue for some people. If money is no object then damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. The 460 will give you a heck of a ride.
