Lots of mentions here for the Rabbit diesel, but the Geo Metro got 45-50 mpg, back in ‘91 and burned gas (more expensive, then). I know someone who drove Fiat 600s back in the ‘60s and they were pretty sweet on gas, too.

True, but this was in the early eighties, the Metro was not around yet (except for my Vettes I never liked GM), and I think the Rabbit was a nicer looking car.
On top of that I have always had a fondness for diesel engines. I normally got around 50 mpg combined in my Rabbit and I just plain loved that car. I traded it in for a 5 Liter Capri Black Magic when I graduated from college.
