A Hyundia Accent 2dr GS Manual "Blue" is 9,995 MSRP. You can probably get one for 8.5K with rebate. If your looking for new and low cost with 36mpg highway.
The "Blue" model (minimum electric stuff) is curb weight at 2400 lbs. So pull a few things out like PS and switch to lightweight/narrow wheels and you could get 40mpg easy.
I think I'll wait till the first couple start showing up as used early next year. Pick one up for 7K with 10,000 miles.

Both the base Versa and base Yaris are about that same price, and the Yaris with the 5-speed easily gets 45 mpg with no mods.
