I have been very impressed with the Saturn SW2 I bought my daughter a few years back. Fun car to drive, very reliable. Gets mid 30s without trying hard. Find a SW1 (single cam, higher gearing) and you ought to get 40 with a little effort. Just stay on top of the oil level. These engines like to drink oil from some reason. Something about the piston ring design, I recall reading. But, high thirties with a quart of 5-30 every 7-8 hundred miles is pretty cheap driving.
