Welcome Icarus, I think my next project car is going to be an Accent. I keep checking Craigslist for a good deal on a 2000-2004 model.
My current car is a 97 Protege. I have the 1.5L manual and 200lbs lighter curb weight. I get around 40 on stop/go traffic and 45+ at 55mph.
Your slight heavier and 1.6L Auto should get close to my numbers with some minor changes in driving habits and a few modifications.
Welcome and good luck.
