Actually despite aero if you are building your own
Small & Light gets good FE.

The easiest to find small and light vehicles around are mostly older foreign cars the smallest is Subaru 360 then various honda civics and a few toyotas.

A subaru 360 with a diesel motor and a boattail would likely net you over 100mpg, it gets 60mpg stock with a 2cycle gas and seats 2 confortably 4 unconfortably. Seats can be changed like anything if you want/need something specific.

It no lupo but you can actually buy one if you want, good luck getting a lupo.

If you want a new car your basically stuck with the hybreds offered and the Chevy cobalt/cruise whatever they call it.

Older cars have a much wider gamut and can be modified to do what you want.

Cheers
