5 speed properly jetted and carb tuned Honda CRX for MPG or a Geo Metro come to mind to get those numbers and were made in the last century, other than only a K car or 3 cylinder exotic can come close. Did a Smart, which always looked like more like a toy than a car, actually get that?
I had an 1st generation CRX in university and that thing was a coffin with 4 wheels as nothing but 2 bodies fit inside. It's nothing I would say was ever comfortable by any stretch of the imagination.
I got in a bad accident in that thing due to a mechanical failure on the freeway and I'm surprised I'm still able to walk to this day as I felt every inch of that metal bend and fold upon impact. Ended up with bad hyper extension injuries to my ankle/feet (2 feet in rule in a spin) and vertebrae damage that persist to this day that made me realize MPG is not worth bodily injury.
My prius only gets 44 mph with mainly street driving, and its ok but feels like joke when its windy due to how light weight it is.
