The Toyota Matrix is coming down to your price range for the older models but their gas mileage is not all that great! mid 20's to low 30's.
Here is the more advanced search on the FuelEconomy.gov web site, searching for anything between 1984 and 2011 that gets over 40mpg pulls up some interesting vehicles.

Yes, that makes sense. When people ask me if they should get a Prius, I ask them what their commute is like. One lady told me she was unhappy with her Prius MPG. I asked what her commute was like and just as I thought, it was mostly freeway.
These are my recommendations :
City Commute = Toyota Prius
Freeway Commute = Honda Insight
