You can also go with a regular Metro, and modify it to get close to XFi numbers (final drive gearing, camshaft, aerodynamics, weight reduction). And given that much of your route is high load on the climbs, a Civic VX (unmodified) may not be able to hold lean burn.
And if you run the numbers, you'll probably find there isn't a huge difference, dollar-wise, between a 45 mpg car and a 55 mpg one. That gives you a lot more options.
PS: glad you enjoyed the metrompg.com site!
