I think the '91 - '02 Escort with the CVH (SOHC) engine gets short shrift for ecomodding. Stone simple, cheap (bought mine in great shape with 100k miles for $1,000), you can find them everywhere, and I'm getting almost 36 mpg city in my wagon with very mild hypermiling (some EOC). It does EOC really well - even with power steering, the car is lightweight, and steers and stops well with the power off.
