Specific models are one way to make recommendations. Another way is to suggest design characteristics to seek out. Seek taller gearing and lower drag coefficients. I think you want a car with drag below 0.30 & preferably as low as the Prius. And you would want the tallest gearing you might get, as found in the Chevy Cruze Eco in the USA or any CVT equipped car stateside or in Europe. Basically, keep RPMs & drag down as much as is practical.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
