Not by much if any. Most 62's get in the teens for mpg on highway trips.
What is wrong with your 80 to make you wonder about a 62?
Parts aren't difficult to get. The 80 and 62 engines have some differences, but a lot more similarities. The early 80s aren't that much heavier, but they are full-time 4wd, which would make it feel heavier.
