I really hope you find what you're looking for! I remember doing the same thing for 6 months till i found what i wanted. It was worth it. I would'nt get hung up about epa ratings between different years on the same "model." As long as it lean burns and has a manual, you can average far higher mpg than the epa estimates.

Yes 1st gen HCH both CVT and MT had leanburn. Can't say for sure but CA model did not have lean burn on any transmission option. If it has an ULEV sticker it lean burns. SULEV does not.

How do you get notifications on hx's for sale?

My only advice is to broaden your search for other models too. That and go see any nearby cars and do test drives. Some items not on the checklist, you find you can live with.
