My first economy vehicle was a 1984 Nissan 720 pickup truck. 2.0L, 5 speed 88hp truck. It didn't look nice or go fast, but it got great mpg's on the highway below 55mph. I drove that truck through some minimum maintence roads and into some fields that my friends wouldn't touch with their 4wd pickups.
I actually kept that truck around the farm until last year when I tore the engine completely down and rebuilt it. Got it running like a top in no time! Unfortionately I got rearended by a loaded semi with only about 60 miles on the motor...
I've actually always kept an economy box around to suplement my low mpg toys, but that was my first.
