#1 car for MPG, in stock configuration, is going to be a 2000-2006 Honda Insight unless you got the dough for a 2016+ Prius C. Main drawback is it only has 2 seats. A big bonus is it is all-aluminum, so you can usually find one without any of the body problems you're likely to see on the older civics.
The #1 Civic in stock configuration is going to be the Civic VX from the 1990's because of its lean-burn engine and light rims, but again that kind of age usually indicates rust up in Canada. The Civic VX does have more room than the Insight.
If you went with the Prius-C you could probably mod it for more MPG, but a 2000-2006 Insight with manual transmission (all Canadian ones were sold with manuals) can probably be modded to achieve way higher MPG numbers more easily than the Prius-C because of the drivetrain. My best tank in my 2001 Insight was 78MPG without use of the hybrid battery. And there are some guys on here who regularly do 90+ MPG tanks in their Insights.
