An early second generation CRX was one of the lightest and most aerodynamic cars ever imported into the United States. The fact that it achieved over 50mpg stock and can be mated to one of the most fuel efficient OEM engines ever offered makes it an obvious choice, in my opinion. A slightly more expensive project car would be worth the potential it offers.
I'm definately biased towards the CRX HF, but I can't think of another car that has the potential to achieve such high mileage so cheaply. Honda's are also easy to work on...just about everything is modular, compatible, and light.
