Default Guys with 408 strokers....

This may sound like a stupid question, but... what's the ball park mileage you are getting with your strokers. I don't need exact but is above 10mpg possilbe? I love the torque of highpower big blocks but a 6-8mpg daily driver hurts. I was just curious if daily driven strokers can get into the teens on those rare cases when you're right foot isn't heavy.

I don't know how the gas mileage is in the trucks, but i've seen some cars with 408's claiming to get about 25 mpg. It would probably be a little less in the truck since its heavier.
