Default 1987 CRX HF has significant run on issues.

I just picked up this 1987 Honda Civic and one of the things that its doing is running on pretty long after I cut it off. Additionally the gas milage is really not where it should be. The odometer doesn't work but I've done the math recording where I've been and I estimate I'm getting about 15 mpg. I've been running 87 octane in this car. Additionally, what are the octane requirements of this engine? I've been running 87 octane. Do I need to run higher?

Thanks all.

Might want to check your timing. Replace the belt to if you just picked it up and don't know when it was last changed.
