AUDIOADDICT02 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Only advice I would say is don't drive it if you're not driving it somewhere that will get you money, living so close to your job really shouldn't be too bad. With a 460 daily driver I pump $40-60 a day since I live about 30 minutes from my job & wherever else I go work after work.

Zapanater Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 My truck gets shit for gas mileage, and I hate it for that, but I'll tell you what, there is no replacement for displacement. If you can a little baby half ton with a 57 or something you'll always be worried you're gonna break something, or you're wishing you could load it up a little more. It'll last longer the bigger it is, and you'll do less maintenance. Plus you look like a man should look haha. 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it.

Socky Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I had a kid in my class, ive always talked to him about his truck, his 454 5 spd would never get anything above 10 mpg. He drove it like a baby and just wouldnt do it, But it would run like a bat out of hell, funny thing is it got same mileage if he rode it hard, than driving like a grandma. Big blocks are always more money to work on, if you want a truck, just get something with the vortex in it, such as a 350 or something with little be more economical. Hell my jeep gets 11-13 mpg, with just a I-6 H0 4.0 but on 35s.

LT.Smoke Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 The 454 is no more expensive to work on than a 350... If you keep up with routine maintenance then it will be fine Fizzy... I had a shortbed chevy with a 454 and it was a beast but i could still get about 12 mpg in town and 18 on the highway...

Just use the throttle responsibly and you wont suffer TOO BAD lol put a turbo on it too, helps with gas mileage xD also, filters, exhaust, make sure it's a sound engine w/ good gaskets and all that . 351 windsors get decent mileage 15-17mpg, but s10's are nice anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortezDTV Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 454 = horriable daily driver Just like a prius... they suck balls! Point # 1. Look at the truck its self.... its ment to haul over 1 ton in the back, u think ur rides conna be comphy with nothing in it! Hell no its about as bumpy as it gets besides a fucking pantera.... and don't anyone tell me o well u can put air ride and lower the back..... you still have 1 ton springs on the back..... your ride is still gonna be rough and bumpy Point # 2 the gas milage, all uve heard from everyone is they get 15 mpg etc. LOL. One person said it perfectly u get 200 mpg period.... did you ask how big his tank was? Prolly dual 20 gals.... my fam has a 454 work truck dump bed its the 3+3... things fucking huge takes up 2 spots can't part it anywhere and it get way worse gas milage than 200 per tank a trip across town (about 15 miles tops) takes a 1/4 tank easily and that's empty.. with a load LOL SAY GOOD BYE GAS MILEAGE I don't even think I need to make another point But I will this time about prius's and don't even get me started on the worst car EVER MADE! 1 it is the worst car for the enviroment bar none, even a car that leaks out half a quart a day doesn't even begin to harm the earth as much as disposing the batteries that go bad every 7 to 10 years, o wait, here comes the responce they are recycled... yes they are does anyone know where? I do its somewhere where there are no EPA LAWS and they stuff them in the dirt and wait for them to dicinagrate.... fucking bullshit! o wait next time ur on the freeway and u see a prius, remember at 80 mph a bmw 3 series gets better gas millage, so um that sucks balls considering the prius is suppose to be ahead of the market, suck my penis Anyone ever been hit my a prius? That sucks balls too you never even hear it comming just smack o hey here's the front of my prius.... so much for the term loud pipes save lives O wait it still gets better does anyone know how much the battery costs after this 7 to 10 years when they can't hold a charge.... I dooo Im done ranting Cfizzy, if u want a 454 get one but be weary, id go get a toyota 4 cylinder, or nissan 6 cyl truck.... best gas milllage most functional etc.... there is a reason toyota trucks are ontop and will be prolly forever.... they are designed much better then made in the usa.... not mexico and canada like most fords/ chevy parts SCSB Santa Cruz Speaker Box Build logs: Daily Driver Lemon Marquis 2 american bass 750.1s 350.4 on 14 focal 6.5s sq 945 on 4 hertz tweeters Mystery subs http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 The Mustang 'dubbed' Shirley the project from bullet holes to badass http://www.stevemead...cond-skin-time/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
