a bmw would work..
The e30 and e28 3/527i have respectable mpg in auto form and a manual swap is only a days work.
Failing that the e36 316/8 is frugal, and manuals have a 1:1 ratio, so a diff swap sorts the gearing out.
Certain models of the e34 and e32 5 and 7 series came with a 5 speed auto-really low rpm at motorway speeds.
Another shout could be the fiero-see a few over here-they seem to handle ok for a yank tank.
If you need any bmw info- just drop me a pm-i'm a bit of a nerd on them
