Not to discount all the other advice but with the modest goals and performance desired, skip the highway cruiser models (cx-vx) and go straight to the common-man DX. I had a DX take me from NH to FL and back with NO hypermiling or mods @ 35mpg. A stock DX should be close to your goals and a few mods will get you closer for far less money than a VX + turbo.

Swap in the VX 5th gear and adjust the driver, should exceed the goals stated.
