This is best for me and my family... I CHOSE to move somewhere where the air was clean, the water is pure, the food is fresh, the people are nice, where we could enjoy the outdoors and get away from the RAT RACE!!! I am happy!!! I only make that commute 3 days a week...
So if you wanna talk cars we're good... if you want to question my life choices just pass on by...

I'm simply showing you the facts of your commute. Our purpose here at ecomodder is to help you reduce your fuel consumption. We attempt to do this with many different techniques. By far your largest contributor to your consumption is the distance you travel. I'm not trying to 'life coach' you, but simply inform you of an area where you could see a very large improvement. If you don't want to do that that is your choice. No offense was intended.
I think any of the vehicles you've listed in your first post will suit you very well. The conventional vehicles (yaris/civic) will likely yield in the low to mid 40s for mileage depending on how avid a ecodriver you are. The TDI and Prius will yield in the 50s and possibly 60s for mileage and you won't have to put as much effort into driving them. It all depends if you're willing to pay the price premium for the TDI/Prius.
