25MPG is easily achievable in a 4 cyl midsize car with a manual transmission, an auto would make it harder (especially for an older car) but still very much doable. Unless towing, a V6 in a midsize car is overkill.

I imagine that KITT222 is probably looking at something smaller like a civic, so 30MPG wouldn't be unreasonable to expect.
