Honda Insight easily could. My lifetime (over 105K miles) is at 71.4 mpg, and most of that is driving mountain roads, summer & winter, with the occasional bit of dirt thrown in. On a good highway trip in summer, say from my place near Reno out to the Toiyabe Range via US 50, Nevada 722, and about 20 miles of dirt, I'll average over 80 mpg.
