The car cruises so smoothly with those 3.08s that my teenaged son fell asleep half way through the trip, even with the loud exhaust!
It did use around 3/4 of a tank, too! I think it gets around 8 MPG (highway). Your actual mileage may vary.
When we got home I changed the oil and filter as we just hit the magic 1,000 mile mark on the new 455.

If she is getting hot in traffic, you may want to check the thermo fan -- could be fubar ... TAZ
