That's going to be a gas hog. It's about what my stock 76 Vette is running and in my case that equates to a little over 12 mpg. Just my opinion, if you can live with it not a problem.

Haha. So far this car has been a "Hog" on my wallet since the day I brought it home. No sense in changing anything now.
