I was gonna suggest a Subaru Forester, as I have a 2002 L model 5 speed, and averaged 32 mpg on a 625 mile highway trip last weekend. Car has no mods, except 40 psi in the tires. And I wasn't really doing any hypermiling of any sort. A more mindful driver could easily manage 35 mpg and with mods maybe 40. AWD is always nice to have in the winter and you can fit nearly anything in it.
