A used Mazda5 would fit the price, is available in stick or auto, and can carry 2/3/4/5/6 adults depending on cargo configuration needed. Small, yet lots of room. EPA 19/25 with 2.3L I-4 and 5MT. No idea about hypermiling performance, but I'm sure easy cruising at 55-60 MPH would yield well above 25 MPG - probably in the mid to high 30's range judging by my Mazda MPV (3.0L V6 and 5AT), which will cruise at 50 MPH getting 32 MPG.
40 highway stock, in a wagon-type vehicle? You'd have to already be hypermiling to achieve that in anything that size outside of diesel.
