Be a man and try to get 50mpg out of a new v8 hummer.

Srsly though, go a4th gen or 5th gen mirage.

I've had a couple, and I still love them.

Hmm. I'll do some research.
Edit: You may have just added another contender for the top spot.

Any OG here knows about the HF I used to have. Light, fast, great mileage and N/A.

my mirage with a stock (slightly higher compression) 4g63 with 14b, stock 1.6L dohc fuel pump, stock 450cc injectors, stock 2.0 Liter ECU got around 42 mpg on the way to florida.

this was years ago before i started modifying it...but the car was excellent with gas mileage.

I had a C10 (1986) turbo with the stock G32b sohc, and a 4g63 swapped '89 Hatch.
