Hi Jim,

The same engine (NG) in a 87.5 coupe GT will get you 28-32 MPG, but then it
only weighs about 2500 lbs.  You can run 89 octane if you drive with a
light foot, but I just paid 2.03 for it today.  You could even run regular
(87), the ignition is fully electronic and will switch ignition maps to
regular and retard the advance.  Just don't expect much (any?) power out of it.

Regards,



-Tony
