Best Used Cars For Hypermiling

Basically I'm looking for a list of cars that make excellent hypermilers. Like ones that have drivetrains that hold up well, easy to service starters, wheel bearings, etc. I just joined a few minutes ago and have been looking for the best used cars. I do realize that the lower the displacement, lighter, aerodynamic the better but you can't really tell without getting opinions from the web.

My current car is a $600 88 626 hatchback which is fairly slick in the wind, rolls well and runs decent at 205k miles. Its a good car and I should be able to hit 50mpg easy but there's got to be better ones out of the used box, so to speak.
