Dart 441 gave you good information. to run much of this you need the compression ratio to come way down.

Some other things to think about is when engine temps go up, the air/fuel ratio demands change. You need to fatten it up a bit to cool your combustion area. Also not only the cost of fuel the overall cost per run goes way up. you must take into account tires bottom ends and drive train stress. Back in the 60s the cost per run went up by about 200 dollars a run, and fuel was just small part of it then. It must be astronomical price now.
