I keep long term rentals for work. Usually small CUVs. I had a Rogue which did quite well. I could get it into the mid 30s with mild hypermiling. I liked that thing. Very room and comfy enough. Had an escape with the same 2 liter ecoboost. A little smaller than the rogue, mileage not quite as good when I hypermiled it. The trouble is, that 240 hp ecoboost kept asking me, wtf are you doing? You ain't paying for the gas! And I responded, yeah you're right and would put the spurs to it. That thing was damn quick to highway speeds. Didn't do much for mpgs though.
I also has a focus hatch. Very fun car to drive, and would bring mid thirties when driven like a rental. Low to mid fourties were achievable with a bit of hypermiling. I suspect that with a MT and decent hypermiling effort, 50 isn't out of the question.
