I was going to suggest a Tesla model 3 until I saw your price constraints...

I know it has the aerodynamics somewhere between a brick and a sail but my '99 2.7L 4cyl RWD toyota 4 runner can get up to 25 mpg if not driving into a head/crosswind. I've often wondered how good this drivetrain could do if transplanted to a lighter more aerodynamic package...
