Only problem with the CRX is that it might be too much fun to drive. I don't know about the engine swap, though, but my stock one would get 40+, driving it like a sports car, and mostly in mountains.
Your commute sounds like a good match for a 1st Gen Insight. Shouldn't be hard to get around 70 mpg. Mine (a 2000 that I've had since '03 or '04) has been very dependable.
