Welcome! And check out the lists recommended by others already. That's where I started nearly three years ago. Keep a fuel log here at EM too. (Get a gauge... they pay for themselves quickly... you'll be amazed how much they help).

The numbers on that Nissan are a lot lower than you're thinking:
1992 Nissan 240SX
An early 1990s plain jane Civic will do better for you... even a 1992 Miata will have ratings more like what you're looking for...
