If you are willing to work on diesels one big car option would be a Mercedes 300SD or SDL. The SDL is longer by a few inches (L stands for Long) and has a few aluminum parts in the engine that give it better MPG. Non-hypermilers claim 30+ with the SD and a few better on the SDL. I have often wondered how good a hypermiler could do... maybe put some fender covers in back and a fishtail.... ahhhhh now you are cooking with... um... diesel
Craigslist has many of these SD and SDL for around $2000-3000
