Just an FYI an oil change for the 86 is >5 quarts and it being 0W-20 it's difficult to find quality oil less than about $7/qt, not sure what the Mustang was at but including a filter (OEM is generally recommended and not that expensive at ~$9) you're up to around $50-$60 for an oil change on the 86 unless you go for cheap oil or jiffy lube places, but since you're tracking I'd avoid those like the plague. Insurance varies more on location, amount driven and your personal profile than type of car driven.
But yes, averaging >25 mpg without even trying even with sticky tires and me driving like an idiot. And with many parts being shared with various Toyota's and Subaru's parts will likely be cheaper if/when they break.
