If they had put a 6 or a 10 speed in the old 460,it would have been a game changer..My last two 460's have averaged over 10 mpg loaded and that's with the old E4OD tranny both loaded to about 10,500...I had one 454 that got 8 mpg no matter what I did and my last logging truck got 4 mpg..laffin
Never had that good mileage with my 460 engines. The last two (F250 and F350) were both manual trannies/4.10 gears and I still have the fuel/mileage logs I kept for them. 11-12mpg empty and 8-9 mpg loaded.
I have read the horror stories and the joke, like the 460 will pass everything but a gas station,but the last two I have had/a '93 and a '94/ have been excellent for a big bore 460..Way better than the several 454's I have had..The '93 was in a small Class C motorhome and the '94 is what I have now..
Most of my driving is below 60 mph and hardly ever above 2K on the tachometer, though and I have a 4:10 rear..I guess I have been lucky with the 460's as I am well aware of some others mpg..I got just under 14 mpg going to Hamilton Montana from Idaho empty doing the speed limit...And 11.3 coming back semi loaded with gear..
