Depends on what you need I guess...

Corollas are nice for pretty good mpg, but they are a "low end" car. The camry is quite a lot higher quality but mpg suffers pretty badly.

Personally... I say go with one of these, I have no experience with any of the other cars though.

1993-1997 Toyota Corolla (33-45mpg) (make sure it is NOT a 3 speed transmission, it has a overdrive button on the gear selector, or just get a stick)
1992-2002 Toyota Camry (27-37mpg)(these cars basically never rust out or break down. 96/97 was the body change year, the newer ones are not quite as good as the older ones in my opinion.)

MPG figures above are best/worst case I have seen personally between myself or my dad driving.
