I'm from the other side of the pond so can't be of much help with vehicle choices but I welcome you to the site anyway.
I'd set up your gas tracker to follow your progress and keep reading. Even keeping the same car you can find mpg gains where you least expect it.
In the first 3 months of having my car after finding this site I thought 48 mpg was the absolute best mpg I could ever possibly get. Now I'm getting 54+ mpg 8 months out of the year and have spent less then $25 on mods in the process.
