Which motor for my 36 Business coupe?

With gas prices as they are and the technology in 4 cylinders like the SRT4 I’m really having a hard time deciding which motor combo to put in my coupe. I like the idea of a 2.2 or 2.4 turbo set up for overall gas savings but I’m afraid that everyone will expect a V8 sound when the rig idles up. I don’t really want to install a mega horse power motor that only gets 5-8 mpg and can fry rubber for blocks — as cool as that is. My plan is to only keep the Coupe for a year or so and then sell it to fund another project so I would like your opinion on which motor would be best for the coupe. 273/318, small Hemi?
