Default 390ci

I'm thinking of bidding/buying a 68 cougar with a 390. I love the 67-68 cougars and although this car isn't the color I wanted it looks to be in almost perfect shape, almost new. I always thought a hipo 289 or 302 would be perfect for this car and I do plan on driving it daily(really.. no ****). I know its worth more with the 390 (and the #s match)but I really don't care about that, I want alittle function along with the classic. Anyone have any idea what kinda gas mileage a 390 would give me?? I'm sure it isn't great... this car looks soooo perfect though. It even crossed my mind to take the motor out and bag it for now... put a 302 in it and ride.
