Newer models?

Many of the models I've seen people get great mileage with are late 80's, early 90's. Do I need to restrict myself to those? I currently have a 2001 Sentra GXE (manual transmission), which apparently has a curb weight of 2,513 lb.

Is this something I could work with, or do I need to get something older and lighter?

I don't want to drop $5k on modding or conversions.

I used to have a '01 accent, and I regularly got upwards of 40mpg with it with no mods and only a little hypermiling, so anything under 40mpg is not "high gas mileage" in my mind.
