Have you ever considered diesel. the 1.6l Jetta/Golf diesel gets in the high 40's low 50's without even trying.With a little hypermiling magic you could get even better. And they're very reliable for constant long distance driving.And very easy to repair. (no computer to go bad). A little hard to start in the cold without a block heater, but great cars. You can usually get one for less than 3000, and they'll last 500,000 miles if you take care of it. Just my two cents I own two and love them both
