WayFast84- i've thought about a 30+mpg commuter as well, and looked into old festivas - they have a pretty solid rep as a durable lil car. no reason to knock it off your list unless you actually draw parallels between your ride and your manhood hehe. and driving a car that handles like a go-kart has its advantages.

besides the festiva, theres the geo metro, storm, and prizms to consider (and toyo corollas for that matter)...a slick find would be a 90-92 prizm gsi, which had the toyo 4age motor, 4 wheel discs, and was a pretty decent lil performer, for what it is. saturns are pretty common on craigslist too, lots of manuals which is nice. what else......

suzuki samurai?
suzuki swift, mitsu colt, civics of course, toyo tercels, hyuandai or kias if youre brave or its not making any funny sounds......

go classic - old chevette or vega....dunno if those will pull 30 tho, but probably close. my uncle had an iron duke 3rd gen maro that hit 27mpg on a long trip (once. haha)

or save some coins and swap an ecotec turbo 4 into your bird........
