Straight 6 1bbl carb with how I tuned it wasn't bad actually. My only issue was the car had the wrong rear gears so couldn't do highway.
Some really nice cars. Can't imagine that they are very economical on petrol though!
1984 = gas was about 79 cents, if that.
Mine did not have the chrome accents and was a burnt orange color, basically this one with two doors and no hood scoop:
If I had one again I would proudly drive it. I would rip out the bench seat and put in a couple of bucket seats but that would about it.

All of your cars look so cool ajwhekfalwkefhawkjehflcawkej.
I was going to get my Dad's 1990 Toyota Camry Station Wagon (Loved this car) until it failed inspection the year i got my license (2012, I'm almost 21 now). I was given the 1985 Mercedes Benz 500SEL that was sitting in our garage for ~4 years instead. I get 10MPG local and 13 Highway.
I don't leave the house much so gas isn't too big of an issue. I'm quite happy i ended up with it but bummed out because i'm probably going to trade it in for a more fuel efficient car in the near future when i get a job/internship.

Yup, same here. A quart of oil was only 30 cents as well. I bought a quart of oil the other day and it was $6.99, ridiculous!
