Someone on campus has a pretty blue Mirage....think it's a CVT though.

One of the new sophomores has a red Ford Festiva (I think it's a '93? I looked at it but I don't remember offhand).

Fiat Argo, this one with the 1.0L 3-cyl available only with manual transmission



Most of the current-generation Ford Ka (badged Figo in Mexico and India) that I see are either rentals or company cars

Besides this Fiat 147 being such a featherweight, there were times when Brazilian racing championships resorted to ethanol. Might qualify as somewhat eco or not?

Here is an addition... a Hudson! ...wheel skirts make anything "eco" in the gas guzzling USA.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.

Inline watercooled four. I'm not sure where the radiator was located. This picture has a hat-box sized cylinder on the right side. Hose connections and a filler cap.

The Hudson's ruled the road in 1950. The step-down frame gave lower frontal area.
