Coupe or hatchback? Or one of the rare 250 convertibles? 5 speed or automatic?

I still have my 1985 convertible 5-speed...and I believe the convertible is heavier than the hatchback. I easily hit 30mpg while on the highway...and 25mpg in city. Best I ever got in that was 36mpg without doing any aero mods. Top was up and I set the cruise fer 65mph...traveling from El Paso to San Antonio.
